During the month of February, we celebrate National Canned Food Month. If you’ve ever volunteered with BackPack Beginnings, you know how important canned food is to our cause. Our Food Pantries and Food BackPack Program would not be possible without the almighty can.
For struggling families, canned foods provide a balanced meal with proteins, vegetables, and fruit. We have food pantries in 30 schools and 8 partner agencies that we need to keep supplied every week.
“We’re grateful for every canned food donation that comes through our doors,” said Parker White, Founder and Executive Director of BackPack Beginnings.
