Backpacks For Hunger – Preventing Weekend Hunger for Fox Chapel Area Children

Some Kids Only Get To Eat At School

Imagine having lunch on Friday and having nothing
to eat again until Monday.

Some Kids Only Get To Eat At School

The Backpack for Hunger program began in early 2015 by a small group of women discussing the 2014 statistic which reported that the Fox Chapel Area School District was the most socioeconomically diverse school district in Pennsylvania.

How it Works

The students that receive the bags remain anonymous to us. We work with the guidance counselors at each school, and only they know the children that receive bags. We also double bag the food to help with discretion.
