BACKPACK BRIDGE

BMAC started the Backpack Bridge program in 2017 to help students who receive free or reduced meals from their schools during the week but were going hungry on weekends. This affects one out of five kids in our communities. Now, thanks to local support, students in need can take home a food kit each weekend so they can prepare easy meals and a snack on their own.

Demand for Backpack Bridge has surged, and we need your help to keep up.

When you donate directly to BMAC, your contribution goes further! Our Food Bank's bulk purchasing power and supplier partnerships allow us to buy 30% more food than you could at retail prices, meaning every dollar provides more meals for families in need.

For just $28, a child can eat on weekends for a month, $56 two child children can eat on weekends for a month, and $140 feeds five children on weekends for a month.

‍Set up a recurring, monthly gift today to make sure all kids who need support have enough food each month. With your help, we can prevent children from going to bed hungry this weekend.
