Erie Uplink Tiger Packs Registration

Does Your Erie Student Qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch at School? If so, they are eligible for Erie UpLink’s Tiger Packs program. Tiger Packs are confidential, need-based, and available only to students residing in Erie, Colorado or attending an Erie partner school (Erie High School Feeder School).

Tiger Packs contain kid-friendly, nonperishable food items and are delivered to the students’ doorsteps once per month on the Wednesday prior to school breaks to help bridge the food gap for those kids who normally receive free breakfast and lunch at school. Parents can sign up online using this link: Erie Uplink Tiger Packs
