Food BackPack Program Frequently Asked Questions
BackPack Beginnings’ Food BackPack Program focuses on the children. Our food provided is for the children only, not the adults in the family. If there are siblings in a school, each sibling gets their own bags. All food is child-friendly. We also try to take our program one step further by caring for other needs of the recipient children. While food is the primary focus, we also include books, hats and gloves, hygiene products, and more.
Over 92% of all donations go to purchasing the food for the children. BackPack Beginnings is a 95% volunteer-run program with the remaining expenses including administrative costs, utilities, insurance, mailings, printing, etc.
