Portland Backpack's Mission:

Serving children who are at risk of hunger by providing food sacks for weekend days when food scarcity is higher. We believe that engaging the community in our efforts creates a greater impact that reaches beyond reducing hunger.

Each shelf stable food sack contains two breakfast items, two protein-rich main courses, two fruits, two snacks, and a hand crafted care card made by a community volunteer with a message of encouragement and support. Portland Backpack is serving over 1300 kids per week and each food sack costs $7.50 on average.  Just $30 a month can feed a child for a year!

Your support sustains our mission for the future of Portland's children!
