BACKPACKS FOR KIDS NIGHT

During the school year, Wednesday nights are reserved for groups of adults and/or children supervised by adults to pack food that will provide meals for hungry school children and their siblings over the weekend.

Tarrant Area Food Bank’s BackPacks for Kids program supplies child-friendly, nonperishable nutritious food in unmarked backpacks that are handed out on Friday afternoons to school children who are at high risk of hunger.

To package food for the Backpack program, faith groups, seniors, youth groups, civic clubs and other groups can contact JoAnn Biggers by email or call her at 817-332-9177.
