Who We are

Every Friday, Some Backpacks Carry Hope - Not Just Homework
At Central Kitsap Food Backpacks 4 Kids, we’re dedicated to making sure no child goes hungry over the weekend. Each week, we provide backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals to students who might otherwise face food insecurity. Our mission is simple: give kids and families peace of mind so they can focus on learning, growing, and thriving.
None of this would be possible without our amazing team of volunteers and board members. From organizing and packing backpacks to coordinating donations and community events, this passionate group works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every backpack reaches a student in need. Their dedication, compassion, and community spirit are truly the heart of our program.
