Each week backpacks are filled with six meals, consisting of foods such as tuna, chicken, peanut butter, macaroni & cheese, oatmeal, fruit juices, soup, beef ravioli, canned fruit and granola bars, by volunteers and distributed Fridays to participating "at-risk" students at Garfield Elementary. The program plans to add two additional schools this fall.
