Backpack Program

  • Description:

    The BackPack Program is designed to meet the needs of hungry children on weekends when school breakfasts and lunches aren’t available. The program provides bags filled with food that is child-friendly, nonperishable and easily-consumed. Bags are packed each week by school staff and discreetly distributed to participating children every Friday afternoon.

    In partnership with Greenwich Central School administration, the Greenwich PTSA and the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, CFC fills backpacks each week that go home with students over the weekend and on breaks to make sure they come back to school fed and ready to learn.
