My Story…
Hi friends,
I'm writing to ask for your help to feed the most vulnerable in our communities: school-age kids. Kids around us are going hungry on the weekends and Backpack Brigade is on a mission to end it. Every week during the school year, volunteers pack 3,000 bags of food filled with 9 kid-friendly meals and 4 snacks to nourish a kid over the weekend. These bags reach the backpacks of kids in 76 schools across Seattle, Renton, Highline, and Bellevue. The need to fill these bags and provide more bags is urgent and greater than ever.
This year, Backpack Brigade is a Charity Partner with Seattle Marathon Association and part of the Summer 5K/10K/Kids Fun Run on Saturday, August 27th at Seward Park. My family is participating in the 5K and Kids Fun Run to raise money toward Backpack Brigade's $10,000 goal.
Will you help us reach our goal?
Any amount helps and 100% of your donation goes directly to food; food that we pack into bags, along with dozens of amazing volunteers who then handoff to more devoted volunteers to drive these bags to schools.
I really appreciate your support and hope you're having a fun summer!
Thanks so much, Sara
