BackPack Program
BackPack Program
If you are currently receiving free and reduced lunch at school, then you are eligible to participate in our confidential food backpack program. Our communities have formed the "Communities Fighting Student Hunger" program. This free program helps families provide supplemental meals for their children over the weekend.
Every Thursday or Friday, your child will bring home a "backpack," which will be filled with food. These foods will provide two breakfasts, two lunches, and a snack. The food is considered, "kid friendly" which means your younger children receiving the food will be able to make the food with little or no adult assistance.
