WHAT IS THE BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM?


Every backpack food program is unique to the community and school it serves. Generally, backpack food programs provide a bag of nonperishable food to children in need that they can take home and eat when school meal programs are unavailable. These bags are often distributed at school to participating children in plastic or reusable bags by their teacher as they leave Friday or before a long break. Depending on the type of school or age of the students, food may also be distributed at the school office or in another central location inside or outside of the school.
