The Need

Our Mission

Our Mission

Every day, children are going hungry… even in Bellevue. Close to 250 students are known to be homeless. Approximately 3400 (17%) students qualify for free or reduced meals, including 57% of children at one elementary school, 44% at one middle school, and  38% in one high school. For many students, the only meal they get is at school.  On 

Every day, children are going hungry… even in Bellevue. Close to 250 students are known to be homeless. Approximately 3400 (17%) students qualify for free or reduced meals, including 57% of children at one elementary school, 44% at one middle school, and  38% in one high school. For many students, the only meal they get is at school.  On the weekend, they go hungry. Backpack Meals is there to fill in the gap.

When children are hungry, everything becomes more difficult, including learning. Backpack Meals for Kids provides free, easy-to-make meals each Friday, so kids have food to eat over the weekend.  Backpacks are also provided free to children who need them when they join the program.
