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.
