The JetPack Project is a backpack food program providing nutritious, non-perishable food to hungry children of food-deficient households for the weekend during the school year. Packs of food are discreetly placed in a child’s backpack or locker for them to take home.
The program is a cooperative effort of The Well, the school, and a sponsoring organization such as a local church or business that funds and packs the bags. Thanks to these generous organizations we are able to provide JetPacks in the following area schools:
Allendale Elementary
Amanda H.North Elementary
