Backpack Buddies is designed to fight weekend hunger. Thousands of children in our community rely on free or reduced meals they receive at school. Children at partner schools who experience hunger are enrolled in the program and receive a backpack containing nutritious food to eat during the weekends each Friday during the school year.
The Backpack Buddies project is an assembly line setup.
- Tape boxes together
- Walk assembly line packing bags with snacks and place bags in box
- Tape full boxes, lift onto pallets and stack (bringing work gloves comes in handy)
