Each week during the school year, the identified students receive a backpack filled with enough food for the weekend. The backpacks include two dinners, two lunches and two breakfasts. Weekly, nearly 70 volunteers from various�academic, civic, and religious groups work together to build community, while packing the backpacks for the partner schools to distribute to students.�
