Backpacks & More 2021
Backpacks & More 2021 is scheduled for Saturday, July 3rd and we have over 380 children registered!
Participation in Backpacks & More includes backpacks with school supplies, new school uniforms, food resources from a mobile food pantry, and access to community resources and the Be Kind Crew.
You can support our students this school year and set them up for success!
For just $40 you can help provide a child with 2 polo shirts, 2 pair of shorts, a backpack, and over 52 school supplies.
You can also get involved by joining us and volunteering at the event!
The distribution will be a drive-thru format and we will need car hosts, volunteers, to distribute mobile pantry products, people to bag produce, and so much more!
We believe that we have a special responsibility to maintain our normal work schedule as a critical infrastructure industry in Food Supply.
