back pack program

We have 273 students weekly who participate in free and reduced food programs through Bertie County School systems, however, these programs only operate Monday-Friday.  Backpack programs are able to provide two breakfasts and two lunches to help children return to school on Monday morning ready to learn.

Backpacks are filled with nutritious, kid-friendly food that is distributed to children to take home on the weekend. This program is designed to ensure children that might go without have access to healthy food over the weekend.
