Feeding the Future Backpack Program

This program provides food for children who are on the school Free and Reduced Lunch Program at participating schools in Arvada and Wheat Ridge during the school year. Each Friday, children take home a sack/backpack filled with food to see them through the weekend. To be a part of this program parents may register their children at any time during the school year. Studies have shown that children who aren't hungry have improved grades and increased school attendance. This program helps children be ready for school each week.
