Bremerton Backpack Brigade
 

Providing Weekend Food Support for Hungry Children
 

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.
