Kids Backpack Progam

Every Friday, non-perishable food is placed into backpacks for school children who have been identified as in-need.

Without the backpacks, these kids often go home on Friday afternoons and may not eat until they return to school on Monday. 

​

Bonney Lake Food Bank supplies the food and the bags are filled by volunteers on-site. Community-Based Transition Program Alums then prepare the backpacks every Wednesday and Thursday at Liberty Ridge Elementary for distribution.

Children served in the following schools:  Dieringer Heights Elementary School, Emerald Hills Elementary, Bonney Lake Elementary, Victor Falls Elementary, Liberty Ridge Elementary, Lakeridge Middle School, Mountain View Middle School, and Bonney Lake Senior High
