About the Cadillac Area Backpack Program

The Cadillac Area Backpack Program provides food to area school children who are at-risk of hunger or insufficient food sources when they leave school for the weekend and have no access to school meals. Based on income guidelines determined by the state, food-insecure children are identified and given the opportunity to participate in the program. 
Once enrolled, each qualified child receives a food bag at the end of every week containing six meal options and six snacks. Presently, faithful volunteers pack approximately 400-450 bags of food to be sent home with students each Friday.
