OUR MISSION
Backpack Buddies of Baker is a non-profit food ministry that helps supply children in our community with weekend/holiday food bags to help fill the gap when school meals are not available. We believe that no child should go hungry and we are committed to providing support to families in need.
ABOUT US
Backpack Buddies of Baker, Inc. is a 501 C3 not-for-profit food ministry based out of Baker, Florida that started in 2013. We provide backpacks filled with easy-to-prepare food for students dependent on the free and reduced meal programs at school. Many of these students scramble to eat during the weekends because of food insecurity. Backpack Buddies helps fill the gap from Friday to Monday.
We also provide boxes during holiday breaks, provide snacks for classrooms, and host community food distributions. Our program is designed to provide children with the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. We are proud to be a part of the Baker community and we are committed to making a difference, one child at a time.
