The Bremerton Backpack Brigade fills each Backpack/"Take Home" Bag with kid-friendly, shelf-stable food, including fresh fruit and vegetables. 

​

It costs $10 to $14 per week for each bag. Donations of non-perishable foods help to lower that cost. 

​

Donations of dollars allow us to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables each week, fill large boxes of food at school breaks and supplement non-perishables when pantry supplies run low. 

​

Starting in Fall 2022 we are focused on offering whole foods and more healthy choices, in addition to our monthly protein vouchers/coupons that can be used to purchase fresh milk, meat, eggs and other protein sources.

​
