Weekend Backpack Fund

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

Children and families in 19 elementary schools from Schenectady, Duanesburg, Mohonasen, Schalmont and Scotia-Glenville benefit directly. You may give to help where it's needed most or direct your gift to help kids in the school district of your choice.

100% of your donation goes directly to provide food to children, as The Schenectady Foundation underwrites all operating expenses.

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