North East Wake Backpack Buddies

Imagine leaving school on Friday afternoon and not having anything to eat until Monday morning.  This is a reality for some of the children in our schools.  We provide food every weekend to children who are identified as ‘food insecure’ by teachers and guidance counselors at each school. The bags contain kid friendly food for the weekend meals and snacks. There are approximately 400 children in our region receiving weekly bags from North East Wake Backpack Buddies.
