Backpacks and Beyond

Directions Contact the organization

Backpacks and Beyond Our organization provides week-end food bags for school children in our community. Backpacks and Beyond is a local community non-profit organization.

A bag of food, appropriate for a child to prepare, will be sent home with each eligible child on Fridays, or the last day of the school week. Eventually, we hope to serve all the schools in Marion County.

When we need a little help or a lot of help, I know who to call.

WCCTA CTSOs FBLA, FCCLA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA always provides that help!

Today we needed just a little help. Three of their students accomplished a lot in the time they worked!
Thanks to Lily Parks, Jreshaun Hileman, and Ian Kennedy for their help and to Mrs Behel for being the contact person.
