How We Work
Supported by donations and volunteer labor
Every weekend bag is put together through donations from patrons like you! Each dollar or item you donate will go directly back into the community and help ensure that children in need in your community get to have warm meals every night. You can also help by volunteering to pack bags or help out at an event!
Help by students for students
The program is designed to be anonymous so as not to add any additional stress on the student. The Weekend Bag Program Team has the school administration identify a school liaison to work with. The school liaison identifies which students would benefit most from receiving a Weekend Bag and then lets The Weekend Bag Team know the number of bags the school would need per week. All changes are made through communication between our team and the school liaison.
