Frisco Fastpacs

What Frisco Fastpacs does

Frisco Fastpacs is a Texas-domiciled 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2013 by Marian Schulze during her Lenten journey, that operates a weekend hunger-relief program for PreK–12 students of Frisco ISD. Its core product is a pre-packed weekend meal bag (a Meat Pack and a ~10% Vegetarian Pack variant), each containing seven non-perishable meals (proteins, vegetables, fruits, breakfast items, pasta/rice cups, snacks, and desserts) plus a motivational High Five card. The organization distributes ~7,700 meals per week to all 72 Frisco ISD campuses on Thursdays, with school counselors facilitating enrollment using National School Meal Program eligibility, and offers a home delivery option (monthly four-bag drop) primarily for high school students and a contactless drive-thru channel for inclement-weather continuity.

Its extended product surface includes the Summer Meal Challenge (3 meals/day, 7 days/week during summer), Snack Bag Packs (25–30 snack items distributed via school counselors), and Community Pack Nights (monthly volunteer assembly events). The platform layer is essentially logistics and partnership orchestration rather than technology: a warehouse at 124 Rose Lane (Entrance #2) plus a mailing office at 3245 Main St, with no proprietary software, AI/ML, or API surface disclosed. Volunteer-driven operations are deliberate; Corporate Partner activations (PepsiCo Food for Good, PGA of America, Hexure, Visit Frisco-introduced groups) and Community Pack Nights supply the labor for scaling.

Frisco Fastpacs funds exclusively through donation-based revenue streams: individual gifts including the recurring 'Fan of Fastpacs' program, corporate sponsorships (Chuy's, PepsiCo, Visit Frisco), foundation grants (Frisco Station Partnership $15,000 match in 2020, Baker Tilly Foundation in 2025), and event-driven giving (North Texas Giving Day, Empty Bowls Frisco). Pricing is donation-based at $1.50 per meal provided. Customers in the beneficiary sense are entirely Frisco ISD students meeting food-insecurity criteria, while paying customers are individual donors, corporate partners, foundations, and event attendees. The organization is governed by a Board led by Dan Peril (President, Bank of America SVP HR), with an Executive Director Heather Canterbury in place since 2016, and a four-person paid staff (Operations Manager, Administrative Assistant, Warehouse Logistics Coordinator) supported by a heavy volunteer base.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Kids' Food Basket: Michigan-based nonprofit operating weekend meal sack programs for food-insecure children with a similar Saturday distribution model, useful comparable for Fastpacs' expansion playbook.
• Lovepacs Frisco: Hyper-local Frisco nonprofit explicitly listed as a coordinated partner of Frisco Fastpacs; provides similar weekend food assistance to Frisco ISD students and was activated alongside Fastpacs during COVID-19 school closures.
• Blessings in a Backpack: National nonprofit operating the most well-known 'weekend meal backpack' program for food-insecure schoolchildren; the operating model Fastpacs most directly mirrors at scale.

Broad incumbents

• No Kid Hungry (Share Our Strength): National anti-childhood-hunger campaign; not a direct operator of food distribution like Fastpacs but sets the agenda, branding, and funding environment in which school-based weekend meal programs compete for donor dollars.
• Feeding America: National umbrella network of 200+ food banks addressing hunger across the U.S.; provides macro context for Frisco Fastpacs' narrower weekend meal program.

Regional players

• North Texas Food Bank: Regional food bank serving 13 North Texas counties including Collin County (Frisco's home county); comparable beneficiary demographic and a potential upstream food source for Fastpacs.
• Hunger Busters: Dallas-based nonprofit providing meals to food-insecure children, primarily in Dallas ISD; comparable operating geography and child-meal mission in adjacent North Texas market.

Emerging players

• The Commit Foundation (North Texas): Frisco-rooted nonprofit community focused on family and child welfare, sharing donor pools and volunteer networks with Fastpacs in the same geographic and ecosystem.
