Backpack Program

Our Backpack Program was started in 2005 in response to staff at our Keiki Café program sites noted students “stocking up” on snacks on Fridays to ensure they had food for the weekend, when school-provided meals are not available. In response, every Friday, more than 500 keiki receive a food-filled backpack with ingredients for 5-7 easy-to-prepare meals and snacks to cover weekends and school holidays.
