​Low Food Security

As you know, 1000s of kids in our school districts are on free and reduced meal programs. What you may not know is that when many of those kids leave school on Friday, they don't eat again until they return to school Monday morning. So, From Friday at lunch until Monday morning at  breakfast, they suffer from what's called 'low food security'.



Changing Lives

Backpack Friends is here to change that by providing low-cost, nutritious food every weekend for children who otherwise don't have anything to eat. 

 

We Need Your Help
