My Nonprofit Reviews

The Backpack Society is a true lifeline for our students and families facing food insecurity. Their dedication to ensuring no child goes hungry, especially on weekends, is nothing short of remarkable. The simple act of providing take-home weekend food bags makes an immeasurable difference in the lives of these children. Knowing they have nutritious meals to sustain them when school isn't in session alleviates a huge burden and allows them to focus on learning and growing.

Beyond the individual student bags, the Backpack Society's family food box program is a game-changer. By offering families the opportunity to sign up for supplemental food, they address the issue of hunger at its root. This program not only provides nourishment but also fosters a sense of community support, letting families know they are not alone. The Backpack Society understands that food insecurity affects the entire family, and their comprehensive approach is truly impactful to the students and families in our school district. The Backpack Society is an invaluable community partner to Englewood Schools.
