Backpack Buddies

Backpack Buddies provides children with 6 weekend meals each week.  These are children identified by the schools as needing additional food to prevent hunger.  Currently St.Matthew's is providing weekend meals for 100+ children per week.  We are always in needs of food for our program.  The following are food items that we collect for this program - everything should be individual servings:

•  Shelf Milk (i.e. Horizon)
• Juice Boxes
• Chef Boyardee
• Tuna/Chicken/Canned Meat
• Mac & Cheese
• Soup/Ramen
• Fruit Cups
• Shelf Stable Puddings
• Breakfast Cereal/Oatmeal

If you would like to sponsor a child for the program, it costs $25/month to provide food for one child.  To donate online to backpack buddies please click on the link below and  please note: backpack buddies next to your donation.
