BACKPACK BLESSINGS ITEMS INCLUDED IN THESE MEALS ARE: Backpack Blessings is a program to feed school children whose families qualify for the federal free and reduced meal program and may not have enough food on the weekends. The goal of this program is to keep these students from going hungry on the weekends and to remove barriers to academic success. Research shows that healthy well nourished children learn better, are more likely to attend school, and are able to take advantage of educational opportunities. Each week our FRYSCs provide enough non-perishable food for the weekend (six meals) to “at risk” students. ITEMS INCLUDED IN THESE MEALS ARE: MACARONI AND CHEESE FRUIT CUPS CEREAL OR GRANOLA BARS INSTANT OATMEAL JUICE BOXES RAVIOLI MINI CUPS SOUPS PRETZELS TRAIL MIX HORMEL COMPLEATS MICROWAVABLE MEALS CHEESE/PEANUT BUTTER AND CRACKERS TUNA RAMEN NOODLES VIENNA SAUSAGES FOR MORE INFO, CONTACT A FRYSC.
