Weekend Food Resources - Backpacks of Love
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Backpacks of Love, Inc. is a local charity that was formed to provide food for school children over the weekend. Children who are in need of such food will receive a small bag of food & snacks on the last day of the school week. The food exchange will be handled in a discreet manner with only the guidance counselor, teacher & child aware of what is occurring.
Backpacks of Love has been providing food for families since 2011 & is expanding to accept
more families. This letter is acting as an invitation to you & your child to participate in the
voluntary program. By completing the form below and returning it to the guidance
counselor you are agreeing to participate in the program.
We want everyone that needs food bags to receive them. Because the food is limited, please do not request the bags unless there is a true need. Let the school know if circumstances change.
The form at the bottom of this page will help the school to determine who is eligible. Backpacks of Love will not be responsible for how the food is used nor responsible for determining the safety of the food in allergy or food sensitivity situations, as that responsibility falls to the parents/guardians.
Please fill out & return the attached form if you want your child to receive the weekend food
bags.
Thank you,
Matt Henke -Executive Director - director@backpacksoflove.org - (804)350-1127
