The Backpack Buddies Program has filled in the Hunger Gap over the weekend in southern Brazoria County since 2009. Our first Pilot School, TW Ogg Elementary provided with 17 Backpack Buddies bags per week. Today, we average 700 Backpack Buddies bags every weekend during the school year and 780 Buddy Bags over the summer.
When organizing a Food Drive, try to collect 1 or 2 items so we can maximize the amount we receive to fit our menu going out to the kids. Remember, we are feeding over 700 students per week!
