Program areas at Backpack Society

Student bag: the student will receive a bag of supplemental food every week during the school year, the bags contain 6 meals plus snacks. Bags are delivered to the school and the school distributes them before the weekend.
School pantry: the schools can now order school pantry items, student bags, crises boxes, and family boxes. This enables them to provide nutrition to students and their families throughout the school day as situations emerge as well as before and after school.
Family box: the family will receive a box of food customized to accommodate any allergy or dietary restriction, the box is appropriately filled based on the household size. This program is expanded and the amount of food provided is increased to help the family through the week rather than just the weekend. More items are offered during summer and other school breaks.
