Access to Healthy Foods,  Community Involvement

The Weekend Backpack Program provides students in need with a backpack full of food items for their families. The backpack has food items for healthy meals that families can create together and enjoy over the weekend. Healthy recipes are also included to show potential meal options!

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

Panera donates fresh bread options and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church donates healthy foods along with fresh fruit. With these two partners, the Weekend Backpack Program will continue through the school year and beyond!
