Food Donations

We have very carefully chosen the food we pack each backpack with. The food must be kid-friendly, shelf stable and practical to prepare. We have a very specific list of food items accepted for the backpacks. Therefore, we ask that all food donations match items that are on this list.

Every backpack is filled with the following items:

  • One Tuna OR Chicken Helper OR Homestyle Bake
  • One can of tuna OR chicken as needed for above meal
  • One box of macaroni and cheese
  • One 5.5 oz pancake mix OR box of cereal
  • One instant meal (ramen, cup of soup, etc)
  • Two pudding cups
  • Two granola or protein bars
  • Two fruit snacks
  • Two snack size cracker sandwiches
  • One snack size box of raisins
  • One small box of real fruit juice
  • One applesauce cup
