Your gift becomes kid-friendly weekend food for local children.
Get Involved
There is a place for you in this.
Back Pack Kidz runs on neighbors who show up — packing bags, hosting drives, sponsoring children, and spreading the word. However you want to help, weekend food support starts with people like you.
Ways to help
Pick the path that fits you. Each one helps a child face the weekend with food on the table.

Join a packing day and help fill weekend bags with the team.
Host a food drive
Rally your workplace, church, or neighborhood to collect food.
Sponsor a child
Cover a child, a class, or a grade for the school year.
Become a community partner
Bring your organization alongside the mission as a partner.
Share the mission
Tell friends and neighbors, and help more children get support.
Invite a representative to speak
Have someone share the Back Pack Kidz story with your group.
Volunteer Sign-Up
Tell us how you'd like to help.
Share a few details and a volunteer coordinator will reach out with upcoming packing days and opportunities that fit your availability.
No experience needed
Packing is friendly, hands-on, and easy to learn. Bring a friend, a coworker, or your whole group.
Hear more — schedule a visit
Churches, businesses, schools, and community groups are invited to have a Back Pack Kidz representative visit and share the mission. It is a warm, no-pressure way to learn how weekend hunger affects local children and how your group can help.
We are happy to speak at meetings, services, classrooms, civic luncheons, and community events across Charlotte County.
Great for
Church groups, businesses and service clubs, school staff, civic organizations, and any group that wants to fight weekend hunger close to home.
