Childhood hunger is a harsh reality affecting too many children in our community. Many kids rely on school breakfast clubs as their primary source of nutrition during the week, leaving weekends a time of uncertainty and hunger.
Backpack Buddies is changing that.
Through our program, we're providing backpacks filled with nutritious food to children who need it most, ensuring they have enough to eat over the weekend. But we can't do it alone. We need your support to reach even more children and make a lasting impact.
Your Donation Makes a Difference:
- $20: Provides one backpack filled with food for a child for an entire weekend.
- $200: Provides a backpack filled with food over the weekends for a whole term, giving them the nutrition they need to thrive.
- $800: Provides a backpack with food over the weekends for the school year, helping children stay nourished and focused on their education.
Every donation counts, no matter the size. Your support will directly impact the lives of children in our community, giving them the chance to return to school on Monday morning ready to learn and grow.
Together, We Can Close the Weekend Hunger Gap

"The kids are excited to receive their backpack every Friday. They like to go through it and see what new goodies they have.
There is often food in the backpack I wouldn't buy at the shops myself but its good to see the kids trying new things and enjoying them.
Thank you for supporting us through tougher times :-)." (Parent of Backpack Recipient)
