My Students

The students that I and my admin team (pictured right) serve as a counselor are smart, funny and worthy of your commitment! There’s just one surprising fact... they’re just hungry. Yes that’s right...on the weekends about 50 students that I serve do not have food.

As the school counselor, I look out for all the needs of students and the students that participate in our backpack program rely on the free and reduced-price lunch line throughout the week and for breakfast each day.

But on weekends, they go without food.

My Project

The backpack food program helps to bridge the gap for students that do not have food at home on the weekends. These students typically rely on breakfast and lunch at school Monday through Friday and don’t always have access to healthy nutritious foods on the weekend.

The backpack food program sends home food in the backpacks of the students each Friday afternoon to help them make it through to Monday morning breakfast.

With local donors and families, we can use resources such as this to provide food for each weekend. Only $3.50 pays for each bag of weekend food!

By providing weekend food, students can focus on learning...not basic needs at home and at school.
