Confidence starts with knowing you have what you need.🍎 For some children, Friday isn't just the end of the school week. It can mean worrying about where their next meal will come from.

One neighbor recently shared how, before their school joined the BackPack Program, some preschoolers would cry because they didn't want to leave school on Fridays. Teachers would quietly tuck snacks and nonperishable food into their backpacks to help them get through the weekend.

That story is a powerful reminder that a backpack filled with food is so much more than just food.

It's peace of mind. It's security. It's knowing there's something to eat at home, not just for themselves, but for their siblings, too.

This , we're celebrating the importance of helping children feel supported, secure, and ready to thrive. Because every child deserves the confidence to focus on being a kid. 🧡
