The Weekend Backpack Program™
The
food bank’s fastest growing program, The Weekend Backpack Program™,
provides severely at-risk children with a backpack filled with
nutritious child-friendly foods for them to take home on the weekends,
when they might otherwise go hungry.
The program is designed to allow students to get the assistance
without drawing any attention to themselves by using backpacks,
which look like any other student’s backpack.
Nearly 1,000 children in 30 elementary schools receive healthy food over the weekends through this innovative, life-saving program.
