BackPack Bob Needs Your Help

BackPack Bob needs your help.

On Friday, our volunteers will begin delivering to schools in our community. Each week, until the end of the school year, they will deliver about 100 packs each Friday. The packs contain a weekend's worth of nutritious food for a food-insecure kid. These are typically kids that receive free/assisted breakfast or lunch. BackPack Pals ensures that these kids have something to eat between in-school lunch on Friday and when they show up for breakfast on Monday. About 20% of SOMA school kids receive free/assisted in-school meals and our program targets those most in need.

It costs about $200 for a years' worth of BackPack Pals packs.

Please consider making a donation today to support a kid for the rest of the school year. If you can't donate the full amount please consider a six-month donation. Rent Party is an all-volunteer organization so every dollar you donate will help support kids in this community.

BackPack Bob says, "Thanks!"


Speaking of Rent Party, nice article in this month's issue of New Jersey Monthly
