The Backpack Program for Students in Semmes, AL is dedicated to combating food insufficiency by providing essential nutritional support to students in need over the weekends. Recognizing the importance of reliable access to food, the program offers carefully packed meals that include three nutritious meals and snacks every Friday, ensuring that students can thrive during their time away from school. Collaborating closely with school counselors, we work with Catholic Social Services to identify eligible participants, making it easier for families to access vital food assistance. Our mission is to empower students to overcome food insecurity and focus on their education with full bellies and renewed energy.
