The Backpack Program was started several years ago with the help of the United Way to provide food items over the weekend to families in need. Every other weekend a backpack is sent home containing items and then returned on Monday to the nurse. If you are in need of this service please contact the nurse. Donations of items or a monetary donation are always appreciated to supplement our "pantry". Below is a list of suggested backpack requests:
