Overview

Mission

Kidspak focuses on providing weekend meals to food-insecure students, allowing them to reach their full potential. This is achieved through partnering with our schools, community, donors, and volunteers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Kidspak's primary exempt purpose is to provide free weekend and school-break food to food-insecure students in northern Colorado so they can return to school nourished and ready to learn. During the fiscal year ended june 30, 2025, kidspak delivered 23,739 weekend food bags to students across loveland, berthoud, johnstown, and south fort collins through partnerships with 62 distribution sites, including every thompson school district school and multiple community organizations. The program served an average of 650 students per week during the school year.each weekend food bag contained the equivalent of six balanced meals, including protein, grains, fruits, and shelf-stable milk, designed to be non-perishable, child-friendly, and easy to prepare. Kidspak also operated five in-school pantries in thompson school district high schools and the landing (youth homeless shelter), providing grab-and-go meals and snacks to students experiencing food insecurity during the school day.in addition to weekly distributions, more than 500 volunteers supported program operations through packing, food drives, and distribution activities. During the 2025 food drive in february, kidspak brought in over $75,000 in donated food.these services directly reduced hunger, improved student well-being, and supported educational success for thousands of children in the community

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
