Around the regio n, you’ll find many teachers who can tell you about a student who cam e to school on Monday, not reluctant to start the school week but eager to get back to school after going through Friday evening, all day Saturday, an d all day Sunday without a square meal—or knowledge of a source for t heir next meal.
Those children are the reason FeedMore started the Ba ckPack Program. Cli ck here for more information.
The BackPack Program is one of Feed More’s major initiatives to ensure that children in need have balance d, nutritious food they need to learn and grow. The concept is simple: chil dren at risk of weekend hunger receive a bag of food that is child-friendly , nutritious, nonperishable, and easy to prepare/eat. Each BackPack offers enough food that children can easily assemble into six healthy meals over t he weekend when schools are unable to provide breakfasts or lunches.
By partnering with Communities in Schools, school staff, and local school s ystems, the BackPacks are distributed to children in need through the schoo l system—discreetly—each Friday afternoon or before a long holi day weekend.
If you would like to bring food to donate please see bel ow for a list of most needed items:
1. Peanut Butter

3. Low Sodium Veggies
