Backpack Buddies
The Backpack Buddies program provides food for students who might otherwise lack meals over the weekend. Children in need, take home a backpack of healthy meals and snacks from school on Friday and return on Monday mornings fed and ready to learn. In the 2019-20 school year, the first year of the program, Assistance League of Atlanta provided 30 children with 1,050 bags of food over a period of 30 weeks.
