North Country Backpack Program

No child should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from once the Friday school bell rings. Our Backpack Program is dedicated to bridging the "weekend hunger gap" by providing students in need with a discrete bag of nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to take home every Friday. By ensuring our children are well-nourished over the weekend, we empower them to return to the classroom on Monday morning healthy, focused, and ready to learn. Together, we are nourishing bodies, supporting education, and strengthening the heart of our community—one backpack at a time.
