Billings Public Schools BackPack Meals Program (BPMP)

This program sends meal packets home on weekends and school holidays to at-risk elementary school children who otherwise may go without food.

The Billings Public Schools BackPack Meals Program began to help ensure that low-income children in Billings have food on weekends and school holidays. By working closely with other organizations in the city of Billings, BPMP has become part of a coordinated effort to end hunger and poverty in Billings. The program has also helped to raise awareness and a community-wide focus on childhood hunger. The success of this project will help to keep children in schools and help them to succeed in life!

Dear BackPack Meal Program Friends, When I started the BackPack Meals and Teen Pantry Programs in 2009 in response to the Great Recession that started in 2008, I never envisioned that the programs would be needed more than ever 16 years later. One of my favorite fundraisers was always Jersey Day 406. Although I am now retired, it remains my favorite fundraiser. This year it falls on Friday, April 4th. Any amount you can give to the BackPack Program this Friday will be appreciated by the program staff and the kids who it will feed.
Thanks for caring!

Did you know that students participating in the BackPack Program or using the school pantries can get birthday cake kit with everything they need to bake and decorate it! Read this great article for details. The cake kits are just one of several new programs Nikki Dolan, the woman who took over my spot running the pantries and backpack program has brought to our schools:

Did you know you can bake a cake with just a cake mix and a soda pop? They’re key ingredients in 16-year-old Ellie Edwards’s birthday cake kits, which also include candles, sprinkles and frosting in a disposable cake pan. She creates these kits for kids in Billings schools whose families can’t afford a birthday cake. Read more about her project and find out how you can help in the latest issue of YVW. It’s on stands now!
