Interfaith Emergency Services - Food 4 Kids Program

Food 4 Kids is a “backpack program” for hungry children in Marion County. Guidance counselors at the schools provide each child’s name to them, including the number of siblings in the household. Volunteers pack durable, rolling backpacks full of food for each household. The volunteer delivers the backpacks directly to the school, tagged for each child. The child takes the backpack home on Friday afternoon and returns them to school on Monday morning. Then, the volunteers pick up the backpacks at the school and the process starts all over again.

Backpacks include:

  • Canned meat
  • Canned pasta
  • Cereal
  • Crackers
  • Juice boxes
  • Macaroni & cheese
  • Non-candy snacks
  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Pop tarts
  • Pudding & fruit cups
  • Shelf-stable milk
