THE MISSION OF BACK PACK KIDZ
Feeding hungry children one backpack at a time. Many children in Charlotte County do not have a stable source of food except the free or reduced breakfast and lunch provided by the schools. We bridge the gap by providing a backpack filled with nutritious food items to over 800 children every weekend. The cost to feed one child for the school year is $160.00. There are no administrative costs. All donations are used to purchase food and backpacks.
The best way to donate is to sponsor a child, grade or an entire school for ongoing support. While one-time and in-kind donations greatly help, ongoing commitment allows us to focus on the primary goal of getting backpacks to children every week.
