Weekend Backpack
Food Program

A food bag goes home weekly to all students pre-K through 8th grade that request it. The bag may change weekly, but always consists of items the students should be able to prepare for themselves as snacks and small meals over the weekend.

This program started about 8 years ago through SonRise Church. 2 years ago, SonRise decided to discontinue the program. At that time Milford Schools came to us and asked if we would continue the program. We assembled a group of volunteers & took on the task. As the COVID-19 pandemic set in and schools were closed, we rushed to be able to offer families an opportunity to still receive bags.

We will offer the Weekend Backpack Food Program again this year, but give families the choice of either students getting their food bags at school weekly OR picking them up bi-weekly at the Feed Our Flock pantry.
