Who is Backpack Buddies?
In BC, thousands of families struggle to put food on the table every day and hunger can set a child back for life. Backpack Buddies is tackling childhood hunger in BC by putting food directly into the hands of those children who need it most.
Many children rely heavily on school meal programs but over the weekend may not eat at all until school starts again on Monday. This is ‘the weekend hunger gap.’ Backpack Buddies addresses this crisis by filling backpacks every Friday for students in need with meals and snacks to last the weekend. For a cost of only $25, Backpack Buddies sends a child home with a bag full of kid approved meals to last the weekend and beyond.
Backpack Buddies is delivered across BC. From Alert Bay to Fernie and Victoria to Fort St. John, we serve over 6,100 children in 71 communities through 350 schools and community partners, working to end childhood food insecurity through our weekend meal program. We will continue to expand to more communities and more children BC wide, keeping our promise to be there for them as long as they need us.
