Summer BackPack
Fueling Summers, Nurturing Smiles:
Summer can be challenging for children without access to free or reduced lunches. That is why Feeding South Dakota has partnered with participating schools to keep some BackPack programs running to feed children over the summer weekends. Families can receive one BackPack per child once a week at one of the dedicated locations. No income guidelines or paperwork are necessary to pick up a BackPack, but children must be present to receive food (exceptions can be made if not all children are present). All participating locations and location info can be found in the drop-downs below.
