Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM SERVES ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN FOOD-INSECURE HOUSEHOLDS BY PROVIDING CHILD-FRIENDLY, WELL-BALANCED SINGLE-SERVING FOOD ITEMS TO BE CONSUMED EACH DAY OF THE WEEKEND OR SCHOOL BREAK. FOOD ITEMS INCLUDE BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND SNACKS MEANT FOR CONSUMPTION EACH DAY OF THE WEEKEND OR EXTENDED SCHOOL BREAK. THE FOOD PACKS ARE ASSEMBLED BY VOLUNTEERS, TRANSPORTED TO SCHOOLS AND PROVIDED TO TEACHERS WHO DISCREETLY PLACE THEM IN THE BACKPACKS OR LOCKERS OF ENROLLED CHILDREN. KNOWING THAT HUNGER DOES NOT END IN 5TH GRADE, FOCP LAUNCHED A MIDDLE SCHOOL INITIATIVE IN 2017. THE LOCALLY DEVELOPED POWER PACK PROGRAM AIMS TO MEET THE UNIQUE HUNGER NEEDS OF ACTIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES YOUTH IN GRADES 6-8 ACCESS TO SUPPLEMENTAL SNACKS AS NEEDED TO BOOST MID-DAY ENERGY AND TRADITIONAL FOOD PACKS FOR WEEKEND HUNGER RELIEF.IN 2020, SERVICES WERE EXPANDED TO THE HIGH SCHOOL POPULATION VIA A PILOT OF ONSITE FOOD RESOURCES OR FOOD "PANTRIES" AT AREA HIGH SCHOOLS. THIS SERVICE HAS BECOME A STAPLE IN FOCP'S HUNGER-RELIEF PROGRAMS.
TO ELIMINATE FOOD ACCESS BARRIERS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THE SUMMER PACK PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED IN 2019. A MONTHLY BOX CONTAINING FOUR-WEEKEND FOOD PACKS IS DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO STUDENT'S HOMES.
