Community School Resource Opportunities
Food 4 Kids Backpack Program
The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program provides weekly FREE weekend food packages to elementary school students to support students from going hungry over the weekend when free school meals are unavailable. Last year we had over 75 students participate!
We understand prices are high and times are tough. If this could help and you are interested in participating, please ask our front office for the Backpack Program Referral Form and fill it out and turn it in. We will contact you and assist you with getting in the program.
