Backpack Program

OVERVIEW:

The Feed South Nashville Backpack Program provides free weekend meals and snacks for children in families facing food insecurity. We aim to supplement the school breakfasts and lunches that these children receive during the week. While we distribute food bags every weekend, please note that bags might not be available during breaks or on days of inclement weather.

 

CONTENTS IN BACKPACK:

  • Cereal

  • Oatmeal

  • Applesauce Cups

  • Snacks (like Goldfish, Cheez-It, or Crackers)

  • Granola Bar

  • Easy Mac / Ramen

  • Hearty Soup / Canned Pasta

Occasionally, we can provide additional food. If your family is in immediate need, please inform us. For more extensive aid during a food crisis, call 2-1-1 or contact the Second Harvest Food Bank at 615-329-3491.
