About Snack
Snack Music desires to see children find out about who God is - and how amazing life can be with him - through music that is contemporary and relevant.
Brendan, Holly, Jesse and Ruth have been involved in Christian outreach programs including Scripture Union Family Missions and Sunday School programs where they see music as a vital catalyst for sharing how amazing God is with children. They wanted to create something exciting for children that would help them to discover life with Jesus.
The group started writing songs in 2005 and have since released two albums of new songs for primary school aged kids and an interactive mini CD. They also perform regularly around Victoria in churches, holiday programs and outreach events.
Snack is a volunteer organisation with all proceeds going to local and international mission. Snack has supported Peninsula SUFM (McCrae), the UNOH Burma Cyclone Appeal, SU Namibia and International Needs Philippines, along with other programs and events.
