Backpack Program

The Backpack Program in Coushatta, Louisiana, offers vital food assistance to chronically hungry children by providing them with a nourishing backpack filled with 7 to 10 pounds of nutritious food to take home for the weekends and holidays. Each backpack is carefully packed with essential items like granola bars, fruit juice, and easy-open canned food, ensuring that children have access to healthy meals when school is not in session. Our mission is to alleviate hunger and provide essential nutrition for children in need, supporting their well-being and growth within our community.
