Backpack Buddies depends on Community Buddies to pack and deliver meals to food-insecure children through the public school system. Each Community Buddy "adopts" one or more schools, receiving food from BPBMA and ensuring that identified children receive weekend meals every week.

Partnering as a Community Buddy is a meaningful way to make a direct impact in your community while also providing valuable engagement opportunities for your members—strengthening relationships and increasing involvement.
