Introducing

Brookings Back Pack Project

The Brookings Back Pack Project provides a weekly bag of healthy snacks and easy to make meals for children in Brookings County, who may not have enough to eat on weekends. By assisting with nutritional needs our goal is to not only meet nutritional needs, but promote their physical, cognitive and social development and enhance their overall sense of well-being. We educate the public about food insecurity and collaborate with other organizations, sharing information by inserting flyers, events, etc., which inform families about additional resources available and opportunities for children to attend events they may not otherwise know about.
