Rupert Elementary Backpack Program
Info for Families
The Rupert Elementary Backpack Program provides a weekend supply of nutritious food for children when school lunch and breakfast is unavailable on a weekend or school holiday. All food is provided to children free of charge. It is our hope that these resources will support the health, behavior, and achievement of every student who participates.
Though the program is intended to help those children whose families find it difficult to have enough food for the entire month, all children are eligible for this program. Information to sign up for the program will be sent home with kids in the coming weeks.
The program is run by staff and students who help pack the food bags. The program is provided for by the United Methodist Church Food Bank program.
