Our Backpack Buddies program helps provide weekend meals for local children in need. Each weekend bag includes 2 breakfast items, 2 lunch items, 2 fruit cups, and a variety of snacks. You can make a difference by donating shelf-stable food items from the list below.

High-Priority Items

These items are most needed and most frequently used:

• Canned Soup

• Top Ramen

• Mac ‘n’ Cheese

• Canned Vegetables

• Canned Fruit

• Single-Serve Cereal

• Fruit Snacks

• Granola Bars

Other Acceptable Items

• Canned Ravioli or Any Canned Pasta

• Individual Grits or Oatmeal Packs

Please avoid sending Little Debbie–type snacks or other soft pastries, as they tend to get crushed in the bags.

Important: All donated items must be within their best-by date.

Thank you for supporting this vital ministry and helping us feed children in our community!
