Backpack Brigade

The reality is that many students rely solely on the sometimes-free breakfasts and lunches provided at school. So on weekends and breaks, they experience food insecurity from Friday lunch to Monday breakfast. At Backpack Brigade, we believe every student in King County deserves a hunger-free weekend. That's why our community of volunteers delivers weekend-hunger relief every week of the school year. They pack thousands of bags of kid-friendly, easy-to-cook food and deliver them to schools in Seattle, Renton, Highline, and Bellevue. These bags are then distributed by school staff to students in need. We are strengthened by small donors who share our belief in a hunger-free weekend for every child.
