The Weekly Bag Program is the traditional BackPack Buddies solution
which provides each child with a bag of shelf stable food every Friday. Bags include items such as cereal, mac and cheese, raisins, soups, granola bars, fruit cups, and oatmeal packets. This food is intended to help them get through the weekend when they are not in school, receiving free breakfast and lunch.
We are currently using this program in three of our elementary schools and serve about 215 children each week. Once a month the children also receive a bag of fresh produce. Please see the
“Produce Program” page.
