Our Impact

Backpack Program

70000

food packages were distributed to
children this past year.

The Backpack Program provides food for children who are at risk for hunger over the weekend. Volunteers help us fill the packs with child friendly foods before they are delivered at schools and our child feeding sites. During the school year, we work with school counselors and teachers to identify students who are in great need of food over the weekend. Over the summer, we provide these food packs at our Summer Feeding sites and through our Emergency Food Program.

Currently, the Backpack Program operates in:

  • Berthoud
