What is the Copper Hill Backpack Program?

The Backpack Program is an in-school coordinated effort to provide non-perishable food items for qualifying families to take home over the weekend. These non-perishable items can make a difference for families in need, and are made possible by donations from our generous PTO and Copper Hill families and staff. We will be collecting items for this program on a rolling basis.

Needed Items

The needs of this program are specific, because food must be non-perishable and we must be able to split the items into many different backpacks for many different students! So we often seek items that are individually wrapped, shelf stable and kid and family friendly. Single-serve items are great. 

Here are some examples: 

• Oatmeal packets

• Shelf stable milk

• Ramen/Cup of Noodles

• Granola bars

• Mac and cheese bowls

• Canned soup/chili/pasta 

• Peanut butter

• Fruit/applesauce pouches

• Canned chicken/tuna

• Pasta sauce

• Canned veggies

• Individual snack bags of graham crackers/healthy snacks

• Cereal cups

• Chef Boyardee meals

• Fruit bowls (mandarin oranges, peaches, etc.)
