Backpack Program
The Salvation Army Barron County Backpack Program Information
The Polk County Salvation Army's Backpack Program supports local families by providing food to children over the weekend - a time when they don’t have access to the free or reduced-price meals they receive at school during the week.
Each backpack is filled with essential items to help reduce hunger for a child and their family, including:
- Dinner
- Breakfast
- Fruit
- Vegetables
- Snack
- Milk coupon (provided once per month)
This program is a vital resource for many families in our community. However, the cost to run it is significant, and without community support, the program is at risk.
