Become A Backpack Buddy Monitor

Become A Backpack Buddy Monitor
Thursday, August 18, 2016

The Houston Food Bank is looking for individuals to support the Backpack Buddy program.

Many children rely on school meals for breakfast and lunch during the school week but go home to little or no meals on the weekends. The Houston Food Bank’s Backpack Buddy program works to fill the weekend gap for chronically hungry children by providing nutritious, child-friendly food for school children to take home over the weekend.

To ensure quality at each of the hundreds of schools where children get Backpack Buddy food sacks, volunteers are needed for monitoring visits to verify program compliance. This is a unique way to support this program out in the community. Weekday hours are flexible and training will be provided, along with mileage reimbursement. Interested? Contact Toni A. Oplt.
