Microwaveable meals, drinks, and sweet and salty snacks are packaged monthly during the school year and delivered to social workers, who distribute them to students facing food insecurity. In collaboration with the chapter, nine thousand seven hundred twenty (9,720) meals were assembled and delivered to Deer Park ISD, La Porte ISD, and Texas City ISD through the Snack Attack Packs initiative.

Addressing this community concern is part of the auxiliary’s Basic Kneads philanthropic program. Collaborating with the adult members is the largest aspect of the program. It also includes volunteering with other nonprofits that serve those who need a nutritional boost and donating to pantries that provide this option. Twenty-eight (28) auxiliary members donated time or supplies to the Clear Lake Food Pantry or Interfaith Caring Ministries, or collaborated with St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church and the Galveston County Food Bank.

Thank you to Roxann Zamora, our adult liaison, Marley Auttonberry, Ethan Haile, Reid Hamilton, and Monica Kramer-Arzola, our teen liaisons, for your leadership this year!
