The Children's Nutrition Program in Portland, CT, is dedicated to fighting food insecurity by providing essential food assistance to eligible school-aged children. Each week, we send home backpacks filled with nutritious, non-perishable food items every Thursday from November through June, ensuring families have the resources they need during weekends and school vacations. Our mission is to support children's healthy growth and development by alleviating hunger and promoting nutrition in a caring and practical way.
