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.
In 2018 Backpacks of Love formed new private partnerships to help fund food for feeding hungry kids on the weekends. Whitten Brothers hosted an event “Drive a Car-Feed a Child” in November and December 2018. The result of the drive allowed Whitten Brothers to donate $5000 to Backpacks of Love. Thank you to all the people who showed up and drove a car at their locations in Midlothian and Ashland.
The mission of Backpacks of Love is to eliminate hunger in school-age children in Central Virginia by providing food for their weekends.
