"Nutrition and Education go hand in hand. Our future depends on the quality of education, but a hungry child can't learn and uneducated adult can't earn."
The goal of the BackPack Program is to provide children at risk of hunger with easy access to nutritious, non-perishable food items that meet their weekend nutritional needs. Each weekend a backpack containing two breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks are sent home with children in need.
