Backpack Program

Elementary school children participating in the free breakfast and lunch program are provided with backpacks filled with nutritious foods for the weekend.

Back Pack Weekend Food Program

Every Friday throughout the school year, each child enrolled in the Backpack Program receives:

  • 2 Breakfasts
  • 2 Lunches
  • 2 Dinners

The backpacks are filled with fruit (fresh when available), juice, self stable milk, lean protein, whole grain cereals and healthy snacks to take home. We even include schools supplies when possible.

How can you help?
Please donate!  The cost to feed each child for an entire weekend is only $2.
A $10 donation will help ensure a child doesn’t go hungry for 5 weekends.
A $200 donation feeds a child every weekend for the entire school year!
