Donate Food Items
The Bremerton Backpack Brigade fills each Backpack with kid-friendly, shelf-stable food, including fresh fruit and vegetables.
It costs $12 to $16 per week to fill each backpack.
Food drives throughout the community provide approximately 35% of the non-perishable foods that we send home. The other 65% of food sent home (including fresh produce) is purchased with dollars donated from our community supporters.

For the safety of our students no glass jars are permitted in backpacks
