Breakfast with the Stars benefitsthe Tarrant Area Food Bank BackPacks for Kids weekend feeding program. Children who receive free or reduced-price meals at school are often at risk of going hungry over the weekend. This program sends home backpacks filled with child-friendly, nonperishable food for about 1,800 school children each Friday. The 25 BackPacks for Kids sites are in 10 school districts in four counties.
Sponsorships for Breakfast with the Stars will help the BackPacks for Kids program provide kid-friendly food for the neediest children at 26 schools. On Friday afternoons, these children take home unmarked backpacks of food to supplement their meager meals on the weekends. See Sponsorship information.
