Backpack Program
The backpack program is designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children at risk of hunger during non-school hours, specifically weekends and holidays. Through this program, participating children will be given special backpacks once each week that will be filled with non-perishable food which can be used to meet their weekend nutritional needs. We collect different items each month for the backpacks and rotate this schedule with other organizations. Please give items in individual serving sizes.
