After an incredibly successful first year, the Tri-Village Packers are back for the second year of their food support program for children in Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights who are experiencing food insecurity.

For the 2024-2025 school year, the Packers plan to support children over the Thanksgiving and Spring Break holidays, and they are seeking financial donations from community members to help make this possible. Each donation of $80 will provide breakfast and lunch items, and healthy snacks for one child enrolled in the program.

Any funds raised beyond the group’s needs for this year’s program will be housed in the Tri-Village Packers Fund with the Upper Arlington Community Foundation to support future projects focused on food insecurity in our community.

Ways to Donate:

• Visit the uacommunityfoundation.com/donate/ page on the Foundation’s website, and select the Tri-Village Packers Fund from the drop-down menu.
• Send checks to: Upper Arlington Community Foundation, 3600 Tremont Road, Upper Arlington, OH 43221. Be sure to write “Tri-Village Packers” in the memo line.
