A Place at the Table Backpack Program

Our mission is to combat food insecurity in school-aged children so that every student can focus on learning without distraction from hunger.

Children who face food insecurity at home may not eat a complete meal from the time school is dismissed on Friday until the return to school on Monday. Children who are hungry at school may: have trouble concentrating on thinking and learning; have more behavioral issues; easily fall behind classmates academically; be at higher risks for health problems; be more withdrawn from classmates. A Place at the Table is committed to the care and feeding of bodies and souls of all God’s children.

If you would like to volunteer with the program, please contact Denene Owens at denene1@neb.rr.com or visit our website at www.apatt.org.
