Henrico Schools
Beyond just providing meals, the Backpacks of Love program has fostered a sense of dignity and belonging among our students.
Working directly with schools throughout Central Virginia to feed hungry kids on weekends.
Currently serving schools in Powhatan, Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Buckingham, Amelia, Cumberland, and the City of Hopewell, Virginia.
Beyond just providing meals, the Backpacks of Love program has fostered a sense of dignity and belonging among our students.
The service has filled a huge need for our students and added a level of comfort for those who struggle with food insecurities at home.
Our students are better able to focus on their studies and personal growth without worrying where their next meal for the weekend may come from.
Your services have been a huge blessing to our families in need of assistance.
We need donations of food so that we can continue to meet the ever-growing need in schools and our communities.
The cost of providing food keeps increasing. Every dollar you share helps us feed more children and support our neighbors.
The need is great throughout Virginia and, chances are, someone close to you has suffered from food-insecurity and hunger. Your ongoing support helps us eliminate hunger.
There are many ways you can support us - through events, volunteering, and corporate sponsorships. We welcome help throughout the year and look forward to serving together!
The mission of Backpacks of Love is to eliminate hunger in school-age children in Central Virginia by providing food for their weekends.
