Snacks include items such as snack crackers, pretzels, trail mix or fruit, and milk or juice. We provide these meals & snacks to children at all the main and Crestmont Boys & Girls Clubs, and the childcare program at Middle Way's The Rise, as well as other programs who request the services seasonally. We provide approximately 945 of these each week.
Backpack Buddies
We provide backpacks of weekend food to selected low-income children at twenty-one local schools. During the school year, children receive a backpack of food each week to help them and their families with their weekend food needs. We are currently providing this service at nearly every school in the county. We have nearly 500 children enrolled in this program. During the summer, while school is out, we operate the program in conjunction with our Summer Food Service Program. Download information or a food list. If your child needs to start receiving Backpack Buddies, please contact your school social worker.
Summer Food Service Program
While school is out in the summer, we know that the over 5,600 Monroe County school children who receive free or reduced meals at school, are likely at a nutritional disadvantage. We provide a free, nutritious sack lunch including a sandwich, wrap or pasta salad, fruit, vegetable and milk, each Monday - Friday to children in selected low-income neighborhoods. This program operates while school is closed for the summer and typically serves children in Country View, Walnut Woods, Henderson Court, Crestmont, The Reserve at Chandler's Glen, Southcrest Estates, Orchard Glen/Highland Park Elementary, Limestone Crossing, Dorothy Apartments, Arlington Valley and Trail View. We provide these meals Monday - Friday from the day after school dismisses until the day before it begins again. Visit our Facebook page or call us for exact times at each neighborhood.
