Grant Snapshot: Backpack Buddies is dedicated to ensuring the most vulnerable children in the Capital Regional District have access to food. Many children rely on school meal programs but over the weekend may not eat at all. Backpack Buddies addresses this weekend hunger gap by filling backpacks every Friday for students in need with enough meals to last the weekend.
