The Backpack Program

The Backpack Program in Fort Myers, FL, is dedicated to combating childhood hunger by supplying children with essential weekend food and additional snacks year-round, including during summer and school breaks. Each week, we provide participating students with a variety of non-perishable, nutritious, and delicious foods that are easy to prepare, ensuring they have the sustenance needed to thrive. Our mission is to meet the basic nutritional needs of local children, and families interested in assistance can apply through our straightforward application process.
