What Serving Our Kids Foundation, Inc does

Serving Our Kids Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 122 Industrial Park Rd, Suite 210, Henderson, Nevada, that addresses child food insecurity in Clark County by providing weekend meal bags to elementary and middle school children who lack food access between Friday afternoon and Monday morning, when school breakfast and lunch programs are unavailable. The organization's core product is the Weekend Meal Bag Program, which delivers kid-friendly, non-perishable food items directly to 98 partner schools, reaching more than 4,500 children weekly during the school year and a Holiday Meal Program for extended breaks. Operations are volunteer-driven: more than 200 regular volunteers participate five to six times per school year, supported by 30+ volunteer delivery drivers, 10 supervisors, and a Champions network of 22+ corporate partners, and the program is enabled by a strategic 2022 partnership with Three Square Las Vegas, which provides food sourcing at lower cost and in-kind donations. The business model is donations- and grant-driven: revenue streams include individual donations, corporate sponsorships (e.g., NV Energy Foundation, Ford Country, America First Credit Union, KSNV-TV Channel 3, Speedway Children's Charities), foundation grants (including a $500,000 distribution from the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee Charities), and event fundraising via an annual Bowl-A-Thon, Golf Tournament, and 18-hour Souper Bowl of Caring telethon broadcast on KSNV-TV News 3. Pricing for donors is structured at $11 per child per month, $99 per child per school year, $11,000 to feed 4,000 children for one weekend, $440,000 for the full school year of weekend bags, and $44,000 for holiday-break weekends. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (Chairman Greg Hogan as of April 2026) and led by CEO Laurie Tanakaya and Executive Director David Archer, and it has received the 2024 Governor's Points of Light Award and the inaugural 2026 Diazo Community Impact Award. The underlying technology is intentionally minimal — there is no proprietary software, app, or API; operations rely on a warehouse assembly model, school-based distribution, and standard digital channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Constant Contact email, and a website donation portal).

Regional players

• Food Bank of Northern Nevada: Regional food bank serving northern Nevada with similar child-hunger programming (Backpack Pack-to-the-Future). Comparable mission and food-distribution model in a neighboring but non-overlapping geography.
• Las Vegas Rescue Mission: Southern Nevada nonprofit providing food, shelter, and recovery services. Comparable geography and food-relief mission, but with a broader adult/homeless focus rather than a dedicated weekend-child-meal program.
• St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance: Regional food bank serving Arizona with child-hunger and school-based backpack programs. Comparable child-feeding mission and school distribution model; relevant as a non-overlapping regional peer addressing similar weekend-hunger need.

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: Largest U.S. hunger-relief organization and national food bank network, of which Three Square is a member. Highly comparable mission (anti-hunger, food distribution) but operates as a broad national umbrella rather than a focused weekend-meal program; useful for understanding the larger ecosystem.
• No Kid Hungry (Share Our Strength): National campaign focused on ending childhood hunger through school breakfast/lunch/summer-meal programs and advocacy. Comparable target population and donor base, but at much larger scale and with a broader portfolio of programmatic and policy interventions.
• Convoy of Hope: National nonprofit delivering food and humanitarian aid including child-feeding programs. Comparable in feeding children and food distribution scale, but broader in scope (disaster relief, community outreach) than a focused weekend-meal-bag program.

Direct peers

• Blessings in a Backpack: National nonprofit that feeds elementary school children on weekends through a nearly identical backpack/meal-bag model. Most directly comparable to Serving Our Kids in mission, program design (weekend hunger gap), school-distribution mechanics, and recurring-donor pricing structure.
• Three Square Food Bank: Southern Nevada's primary food bank and Serving Our Kids' actual strategic partner since 2022. Operates in the same geography with overlapping child-hunger programming; comparable as both a peer and a key supply-chain partner for weekend meal bags.
• Kids' Food Basket: Michigan-based nonprofit that provides weekend meal sacks to elementary students facing food insecurity, supported by a robust volunteer and corporate-sponsor model. Closely aligned with Serving Our Kids in program design (weekend sack meals for kids), volunteer-driven operations, and outcome measurement.
• Food for Thought (FFT): Sonoma County nonprofit fighting childhood hunger through Power Packs (weekend food bags distributed via schools). Directly comparable program (weekend meal bags for food-insecure students), school-distribution channel, and child-nutrition focus.
