🎒 The school year is underway, which means it’s time to kick off our Weekend Backpack Program!

Each week throughout the school year, we’ll provide students with a bag of food to take home for the weekend. Each bag includes breakfast items, a couple of main meals, and snacks to help meet a practical need when school isn’t in session.

❤️ Want to help? Sponsor a student!

A gift of $250 provides the food needed to send a weekend backpack home with one student each week throughout the school year.
