Feeding kids over the weekend.
For many children in Southern Nevada, school provides the only meals they can count on. Three Square’s BackPack for Kids program helps fill the weekend gap during the school year. Every Friday, bags are discreetly given to students in need, filled with kid-friendly, nutritious items like granola bars, cereal, juice, and entrees.
Why it matters
Childhood hunger leaves a lasting impact, and:
- Food-insecure children face two to four times more health issues.
- Hunger disrupts focus and academic performance.
- Children ages 5–7 are nearly three times more likely to experience stunted growth.
You can help ensure children in our community have hunger-free weekends.
