Backpack Buddies of Georgia

Backpack Buddies of Georgia https://volunteersignup.org/MKCTA Our Mission:

Backpack Buddies is a community-driven effort to feed economically disadvantaged children in our school system.

“because hunger doesn’t take the weekend off”
📍 Coweta County
🎒 Weekend food for kids in need
❤️ Give • Volunteer • Make a difference

Sign up to be a summer deliver driver! Many families in our county are dependent on the “Free and Reduced” lunch program and have very little to eat over the weekends and holidays. We supply these eligible children with nutritious, child-friendly, self-serve food e

very weekend. We launched in Coweta County in 2010 and are currently serving around 1,200 students weekly at every school in our county. We do this because research shows that hungry children have poorer mental and overall health, miss more days of school, suffer with more behavioral disorders and are less prepared to learn when they are in school. This program is essential to help relieve hunger, which in turn, will improve grades, relationships and self-esteem in these children.

Before every serve time, we start with a huddle! This is our chance to get on the same page about the tasks ahead, share BPB updates, answer questions, and get excited about serving together. Then it's time to get to work! 💪

Our office administrator’s granddaughter joined us to serve, and it was absolutely precious! 💕

In just two days, she helped pack almost 25 bags—such a sweet reminder that no matter your age, you can make a difference! We loved having her with us! Here she is on her way to go grab another bag to pack 🥹

When school is out, many children lose access to the meals they rely on each day. Our Summer Lunch Program helps bridge that gap by providing lunches and weekend food bags, giving families one less thing to worry about and ensuring children continue receiving the nourishment they need. 💛

A huge thank you to Keller Williams for spending the day serving with us during Red Day, their annual day of service celebrated across the organization! ❤️

Not only did their team roll up their sleeves to pack some bags, but they also presented us with a grant to support our work. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity, partnership, and commitment to making a difference. Thank you, Keller Williams! 🎉

✨ Volunteer Spotlight ✨

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to speak with a group of 3rd graders at Trinity Christian School who collected food donations and wrote sweet cards for our volunteers! 💛
