Backpack Program

This is a Feeding America Program. Its mission is to meet the needs of hungry children by providing them with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations when other resources are not available.

Grace Resurrection Community Center is the hub for distribution in Darke County. For $3 per student per week ($99 per student per school year), we can provide easy-to-prepare meals for K-5 students over the weekends. Volunteers from each school district assemble the kits and then distribute them to the schools. Designated school volunteers deliver to classrooms where teachers confidentially slip the bag into the students’ backpacks.
