The Food for Kids Backpack Program provides nutritious, kid-friendly food to food insecure students to take home on Friday after school. Without this food, many students would return to school on Monday having eaten little or no food on the weekend. The Food Bank distributes more than 6,500 backpacks of food each week to students in preschool through high school in Tulsa County.
This program is run as a direct service by the Food Bank in Tulsa County. In communities outside of Tulsa County, the program is coordinated through Partner Programs. Partner Programs distribute 3,600 backpacks of food each week in the rural counties of eastern Oklahoma.
We’ve scheduled an opportunity to participate in the “Food For Kids Backpack Program”, sponsored by the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. This activity takes place at the Food Bank (1304 N Kenosha Ave), from August thru May (school year).
The date we’ve scheduled is Saturday, October 28th,
from 9 AM - 12 PM.
This is an extremely popular program and October 28th is the only date available to our group for the remainder of this year. We’ve reserved a spot for up to 30 participants. This number can be increased, however, depending on CAG member interest.
