Many children are coming to school too distracted by their empty stomachs to focus on doing well in school. Local backpack food programs are one way to provide needed food to children who would otherwise not have adequate access to food during the weekends or school breaks.
Backpack buddies provides a weekend supply of nutritious food for children, commonly from low-income families, to replace the school meals that children miss during the weekend. For those who are identified as needing assistance, these children will receive a bag of food that is discreetly placed in their backpacks on Friday afternoons. The bag will contain shelf-stable food that can be easily prepared by a child, such as oatmeal packets, fruit cups, granola bars, Easy Mac n Cheese, and various pop-top items that do not require a can opener.
