Backpack Program for Students

CARENow Backpack Program provides durable, reusable backpacks filled with healthy, shelf-stable food for local schoolchildren every week during the school year. Children receive one backpack at the start of the year and return it weekly to be refilled—ensuring reliable access to nutritious meals at home both after school and on weekends.

As a teacher, I see every day how the CARENow Backpack Program changes lives. When children have the food they need, they can focus, learn, and thrive.

I can’t express how much the CARENow Backpack Program means to our family. Knowing my child has healthy food after school and on weekends gives me peace of mind.
