The Backpack Program provides kid
friendly meals for students in need at
Reagan Elementary. Each Friday,
children in the program are provided
enough food for 6 meals and 4 snacks
for the weekend. For some kids, this is
the only food they have.
This program is run by a small group of
volunteers. All food is collected through
donations from individuals and groups
in the community. Without donations,
many of the children in our school
district will go hungry on the weekends.

pretzels, trail mix, rice cakes, nuts, etc.)

• Microwave popcorn
• Peanut butter (plastic jars or individual servings)
