THE BACKPACK PROJECT

The Backpack Project is open to all groups and individuals who want to make a difference in local school children's meal times. Consider this project for your church group or as an individual for a winter project.

The Backpack Project helps ensure that children receive the nutrition they need, even when resources at home are limited. 

While many children who are at-risk of food insecurity receive free or reduced-priced meals at school, they often go without healthy meals on weekends and during school breaks when school meals are unavailable.

Weekend meals fill the gap with nutritious food for many children.
