Amarillo, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Street Toyota is excited to announce they are collecting Pop Tarts and peanut butter to benefit the Snack Pak 4Kids program for the second year in a row. They will be collecting boxes of Pop Tarts and 18oz jars of peanut butter at their dealership located at 4500 S Soncy Road in Amarillo, Texas.

Childhood hunger is a growing problem all across the United States. Statistics show that more than 17 million children in the U.S. alone are living in homes that are unable to provide adequate nutrition. The Snack Pak 4Kids program provides food to 2,350 children that are enrolled in 34 elementary schools and 2 middle schools in the Amarillo Independent School District. Snack Pak 4Kids was founded in 2010 and their mission is “to end weekend hunger for children living in the Texas panhandle by providing a backpack filled with kid friendly snacks each Friday of the school year.” Since their inception, many businesses have joined them in their effort, including Street Toyota.

Street Toyota is involved in a large number of community contribution events throughout the year. As far as the Snack Pak 4Kids program, Joe Street, owner of Street Toyota Scion said, “We had a great turnout from employees and the community who donated last year; we expect to beat last year’s accomplishment.” Street Toyota Scion appreciates what the community has done for them to help their business grow and this is just one way for them to have the opportunity to say “Thank You” to the residents of Amarillo.
