The Backpack Nutrition Program in Plantsville, CT, is dedicated to combating weekend hunger among students by providing backpacks filled with easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly food. Recognizing that many children who receive free and reduced lunch during the week struggle to find nutritious meals over the weekend, our mission is to ensure that no child goes hungry when school is not in session. With a focus on food assistance, we work to nourish young minds and bodies, helping to create a supportive environment where every child has access to the nutrition they need to thrive. We invite families and community members to join us in our efforts to end weekend food scarcity by visiting us to learn more about how to apply for support or how you can help make a difference.
