Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Food Programs
Mission: Operation backpack provides food to students in the pottstown school district and the surrounding community who would go without food over the weekend. We work to help homeless and hungry students succeed by addressing the issue of childhood hunger. Operation backpack serves alongside individuals and organizations to collect food and materials. Volunteers pack these items into backpacks, which are sent out to qualifying students who discretely pick up the backpacks each friday at a designated place inside the school and return them on monday. The process begins again for the next week.
