THE FOODBANK BACKPACK PROGRAM
The BackPack program is a partnership with local area schools that offer packs of weekend breakfast and lunches to children that have been identified as food insecure. Each week during the school year, 8,381 packs of easy-to-prepare or ready-to-eat nutritious foods are distributed to children in 253 schools in 112 school districts across Nebraska and western Iowa. These BackPacks provide children not only meals, but the opportunity to thrive in school, better reach developmental milestones, and be kids.
