Backpack Program
Grace Community Church participates in the Montgomery Public Schools Backpack Partnership. In 2021, we began partnering with two MPS schools. The Backpack Program works like this: Each week, volunteers sack healthy foods and snacks that a child can eat over the weekend. The sacks are delivered to the school on Friday morning. School officials identify the children who will receive the sacks of food and place the sack in each child’s backpack at the end of the day on Friday.
What’s in the bag?
Contents may include:
Breakfast Items
- Oatmeal packets, granola bars, cereals
Canned/Boxed Goods
- Beans, ravioli, mac&cheese, soup, meats, fruits
Snacks
- Peanut butter & jelly, fruit cups, pudding, crackers
Drinks
- Shelf-stable milk, juice boxes/pouches
