One of the most meaningful parts of our work is connecting with the families and children at the heart of our mission.

💙🎒 We loved being part of Lake Forest Elementary’s Back to School Picnic, spending time with families, sharing more about Backpack Buddies, and making sure parents knew where to turn if their child could use a little extra support on the weekends. As the school year continues, so does our commitment to making sure children have access to the food they need, even when school meals aren’t available. Because every child deserves to come to school on Monday feeling nourished, supported, and ready to learn. A heartfelt thank you to Lake Forest Elementary and Sandy Springs UMC for welcoming us and helping us connect with the families we serve. We’re grateful to be part of a community that cares so deeply about its children. 💙 #backpackbuddies #bpbma #sandyspingsga #endchildhoodhunger #metroatlanta
