Did you know that 16% of children in Montana face hunger every day?
Many principals, teachers, and school personnel have students come to them throughout the school year apprehensive about weekends and holidays because of a lack of food at home. BackPack Meals provides convenient and portable meals to elementary children over the weekends and school breaks. Qualifying children who may experience food insecurity over the weekends and holidays receive meals to take home on Friday or before a school break that sustains them until returning to school where they participate in the Free and Reduced breakfast and lunch program. Meals are even included for younger siblings not yet in school.
BackPack Meals helps students stay in school and focused on learning so they may succeed in life!
