Our hearts are literally full! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we exceeded our goal to raise over $16,000 to fill weekend hunger bags. These funds will buy food to fill weekend hunger bags for 2,300 students this weekend. We are so grateful for a community that supports our fight to END weekend hunger for homeless and food insecure kids. #givefromtheheart #endweekendhunger
关于我们
Backpack Brigade was founded in 2014, when volunteers were surprised to learn that a significant number of Seattle school children face hunger each weekend. Many displaced students rely solely on the free breakfasts and lunches they receive at school, so weekends and breaks leave them without a reliable source of food. Now, every Thursday during the school year, our volunteers pack bags of nutritious, easy-to-eat food and drop them at area K-12 schools, where they are distributed to students in need. Powered by volunteers and strengthened through donations and sponsors, Backpack Brigade aims to provide better food to more of Seattle’s hungry children each weekend. We are proud to be a recognized and licensed 501(c)(3) charitable organization, tax ID 47-4086877
