Weekend Backpack Fund

Uploaded Image: /vs-uploads/logos/WBP Horizontal.jpg The Weekend Backpack program addresses food insecurity for more than 1,200 elementary school children in Schenectady County by providing a reliable source of nutritious food to children each Friday during the school year.

We have expanded now from the City of Schenectady to also reach children and families in the Duanesburg, Mohonasen, Schalmont and Scotia-Glenville school districts (Niskayuna does not currently participate). You may give to help where it's needed most or direct your gift to help kids in the school district of your choice.

If you prefer to mail your donation, please make check payable to the Weekend Backpack Fund, and mail to:
