About Backpack Love

Many families in our community are faced with the frightening uncertainty of not knowing where they will find their next meal. Fueled by a passion to ensure children don’t go hungry over the weekends, our Backpack Love program reaches kids and their families where they are and when they need it most. Our hope is to distribute enough food each weekend to nourish every hungry family. Through volunteer teams and church partners, backpacks are filled with enough food to feed a family of five for the weekend and are delivered to partner schools for distribution each week.

What we provide

Backpacks of food

Each Friday throughout the school year, we provide backpacks full of food that feed a food insecure family of five. Inside each bag are three dinners, two breakfasts, two lunches and snacks.

Birthday Ministry

Many of the families that receive our backpacks are unable to provide a birthday for their children. Our organization steps in the gap and provides a sheet cake, plates, cups, forks, candles, juice, bible and an age and gender specific gift.
