BackPack Program: The BackPack Program is a program of Feeding America and aims to address childhood hunger in rural and urban communities by providing school children at risk of hunger with backpacks full of nutritious child-friendly foods to take home over the weekends during the school year. As of 6/30/17 Second Harvest Food Bank operates 111 program sites in collaboration with selected partner agencies and schools. Second Harvest Food Bank provides backpacks, food, and oversight of the program by our Childhood hunger department staff. Day-to-day coordination is handled by partner agencies of Second Harvest Food Bank and the schools to which they are matched. Participating schools have 50% or more of students receiving free or reduced price school meals. Each program distributes on average 50 backpacks per week. Partner agencies pick up donated food from Second Harvest Food Bank and recruit and coordinate volunteers to fill the backpacks for delivery to selected schools each Friday. School teachers and administrators determine which children will participate. Parental consent is required for each child and student names are kept confidentially at the school. |

Kids Cafe Program: Kids Cafe is a program of Feeding America, the Nation's Food Bank Network, comprised of more than 200 members. Kids Cafe programs are established in collaboration with partner agencies (churches, Salvation Army and community centers). Each of the 7 Kids Cafe sites offer a year round feeding program for poor and needy children (eligible if participating in free and reduced charge school feeding programs), providing a nutritious evening meal, homework assistance, and enrichment activities in a safe and nurturing environment three evenings per week. Second Harvest Food Bank provides grant funds to pay a salary for a cook, provides food from its inventory, assists with the recruitment of volunteers, and offers technical assistance and training. Food Purchase Program: Second Harvest Food Bank purchases nutritious food products from vendors and makes these products available for purchase by participating partner agencies. The organization shops for food products from various sources, leveraging our buying power to obtain the best value. This program allows participating agencies to obtain food products at a lower cost than average retail cost. The product mix is narrowly focused, consisting of staple items most often purchased by the partner agencies such as spaghetti, soup, macaroni and cheese, beans, milk, and rice. Any net gains from food sales to partner agencies are reinvested into this program. The Food Purchase Program is an innovative approach to providing nutritious food products needed by the partner agencies at a time when donated food is declining. Summer Feeding Program: Summer Feeding is a program designed to ensure children at risk of hunger have access to meals during the summer months when school is out. Sites operate in low-income areas where the children come from families with incomes at or below 185% of the federal poverty level, making them eligible for free and reduced-price school meals. Meals are served free to any child at the site. Approximately 2,390 children were served at 26 sites. Food & Nutrition Services (FNS) Outreach & Nutrition Education Services Program: The FNS Outreach Program provides training for partner agency staff and volunteers, equipping them to guide potentially eligible individuals through the application process. The program offers a variety of nutrition-related materials, workshops and trainings to partner agencies and their clients. 610 FNS applications were submitted by Second Harvest Food Bank and partner agencies during the fiscal year ending 6/30/17. |
