Missions- The Backpack Program

The Backpack Program in Saratoga Springs, NY, is dedicated to combating child hunger by providing essential food assistance during critical times when other resources are unavailable, especially over the weekend. This initiative offers backpacks filled with nutritious, child-friendly, and shelf-stable food items, ensuring that children have access to meals when they need them most. Each week, these backpacks are carefully packed and discreetly distributed to participating children every Friday, delivering not just nutrition but also a sense of care and support to families in need.
