Ever wondered how we choose which snacks to distribute? Here are some of the things we consider:

⭐ What snacks do youth want? This is the most important!
✔️ What snacks are filling and nutritious?
✔️ What snacks are flexible for many dietary needs?
✔️ What snacks are easy to chew?
✔️ What snacks have a long shelf life?

Everyone has different preferences and tastes. Many youths have allergies and dental health concerns. Having a variety of options allows youth to choose what they actually want to eat!
