The Backpack Program in Hope Mills, NC, is dedicated to combating food insecurity by providing nutritious food assistance to elementary school students. Every Thursday, we prepare and distribute backpacks filled with shelf-stable, kid-friendly products to ensure that children have access to wholesome meals, especially over the weekend. Our backpacks typically include proteins like tuna and beef stew, fruits, breakfast items such as cereal and bars, snacks, and beverages like fruit juice or milk. We believe that every child deserves reliable access to nutritious food, and through our partnerships, we ensure that local kids have what they need to thrive.
