Friday Backpack Program

The Friday Backpack Program, part of Hope Alliance of Missouri, is dedicated to combating weekend hunger among local school children in Rolla, MO. Each week, we prepare and distribute discreet bags filled with nutritious, kid-friendly food that ensures students have access to essential meals over the weekend. This vital food assistance program is designed to meet the basic nutritional needs of children in our community, fostering both health and well-being. Through our commitment to confidentiality, we ensure that each child receives support without stigma, and families seeking assistance can easily discover distribution sites through our Facebook page.
