Weekend Backpack Food Program
About the Program
Hunger impacts people in every community – from all walks of life. The sad truth is that many Americans are one job loss, medical crisis or financial emergency away from becoming food insecure.
The Sweet Home Education Foundation has resurrected the district’s Weekend Backpack Program, a unique districtwide initiative that provides nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to district students, as well as their families, to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays to avoid hunger when they cannot depend on school meals.
Support the Program
We are always in need of various food items! General item and monetary donations are always accepted. For an updated list of specific items we are in need of, click below.

The Birthday Squad of Buffalo
Our partnership with The Birthday Squad of Buffalo helps provide birthday cheer to each student in the program. The Birthday Squad of Buffalo provides bags that contain a gift and party essentials for each student to receive at the beginning of their birthday month.
