Lauren Fernandez's Company Details
Lovepacs was born in 2011 out of a desire of a group of neighbors to demonstrate the joy of serving one another out of love, with the goal of addressing food insecurity of children in their community. Their local elementary school counselor explained that school holidays often meant days without meals for students dependent on the free-lunch program. They learned that food scarcity in many homes was real and that children right in their own community went hungry. This grim reality motivated a call to action to people in the community to come together and provide for each other. Nearly 200 children were fed through Lovepacs that first year. As of 2020, Lovepacs is serving over 6,000 children in over 225 schools in 10 Texas school districts. Over 3.5 million meals have been served since its conception.
