At Backpack Society, we are driven by a single goal~To provide children in our community the food they need to grow, learn and thrive.
With the support of neighbors, businesses & our partner schools, Backpack Society provides food to kids on weekends and breaks when away from school.
Our 4 Programs:
1-Student Weekend Bags, filled with 6 meals & snacks.
2-Family Grocery Program, an option for families to shop in our no-cost market, or pick up a box of food. Both options consist of milk, eggs, meat, produce & pantry items.
3-In School Pantries, for kids that are hungry at school in between meals.
4-Crisis Boxes, to get students and families through 24 hours during a crisis, until county services can be enabled.
We partner with schools in Douglas County, Littleton & Englewood School Districts to reach students in need.
We offer volunteer opportunities at our food pantry, team building events, corporate sponsorships and small business partnerships.
