Backpack Meals for Kids
Hundreds of Bellevue children depend on school lunch programs for food, but have nothing on the weeke On the weekends, they don’t have enough to eat.
For too many Bellevue school kids, the only meals they get are at school. When children are hungry, everything else is harder, including learning. Backpack Meals for Kids provides free, easy-to-make meals each Friday so they have food to eat over the weekend. Backpacks are also provided free to children who need them when they join the program. Because children shouldn’t go hungry on the weekends.
