Food 4 Kids Backpack Program

The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program, offered by the Food Bank of Northern Indiana in South Bend, provides nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to school-aged children who face hunger on weekends and during school breaks. Serving students in grades K–6 across five northern Indiana counties, the program ensures that children have access to healthy meals when school is not in session. Supported by community partners like the Jordan Automotive Group, the initiative helps combat childhood hunger and enables students to focus on learning instead of worrying about their next meal.
