All month long in May, our incredible partners at Littleton Meats are making it easy to give back in a big way. When you check out, you’ll have the opportunity to make a monetary donation to support Backpack Society—and every dollar goes directly toward helping us provide food for kids in our community.

Even better, Littleton Meats is matching every donation up to $400, doubling the impact of your generosity.

It’s a simple way to turn your everyday shopping into something meaningful. Next time you stop in, consider adding a donation at checkout and help us continue feeding kids who need it most.

Summer should be a time for fun, not a time for hunger! Our new resource page is officially live, making it easier than ever to locate meal sites in your area while school is away. Spread the word and help us support our community.

Backpack Society's food bank provides assistance for kids and their families during the summer too!

On a recent day off from school, middle school students and moms from the "Moms in the Middle" group at Mission Hills Church gathered to assemble snack boxes for Backpack Society. We express sincere thanks to this group for donating and packing 15 boxes, or 269 pounds of snacks!

These boxes, each containing 150 individually-wrapped snacks, are distributed to schools in the area. During the school year, we distribute about 40 boxes per week, so this goes a long way in meeting a need in our local schools. Many thanks to this amazing crew!
