I’ve known hunger in ways
no child should know it.
Out here, it takes a village to survive.
I’m like an auntie to a lot of these kids.

When School’s Out, Backpack Buddies Steps In for BC Kids
When school’s out, the need for food doesn’t stop.
For years, Backpack Buddies has helped thousands of BC children get through the weekends with enough food.
Now, we’re stepping in for the summer too.
This summer, we’re launching our Schools Out program, so children receive the food they need when school is closed.
Working with school districts and community partners in BC, we are making sure children have food they can count on all summer long.
Each hamper includes meals, family staples, fresh fruit & veggies to help children return to school in September not one step behind.
When children have reliable food all summer, they return to school ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
Hunger doesn’t take the summer off. So when school’s out, Backpack Buddies steps in.
GIVE KIDS FOOD FOR THE SUMMER
Backpack Buddies acknowledges with gratitude that our work takes place on the traditional lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
