Luke’s Backpack provides food for children who have no or limited access to a food source during school weekends. School personnel identify students, who then receive a bag of food items to help sustain their nutritional needs throughout the weekend. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items are included in each bag. Bags are distributed to students every Friday during the school year.
Who qualifies? Any student in Shenandoah County identified as food insecure by school personnel.
What help is provided? A weekend's worth of nutritious food.
How often? Weekly during the school year.
When and Where? Packed bags are delivered to school campuses for school personnel to distribute to students on Fridays.
We began in 2011 by helping fifteen children. During the 2024-2025 school year, our Luke's Backpack ministry distributed 7,765 bags of food to approximately 300 students each week. This amounts to more than 42,000 pounds of food and 46,590 meals.
