The Edgewood Backpack food program is hosted by the EMA and serves children in our district who qualify for the Free and Reduced Meal program. The program provides nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to children to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays when they can't depend on school meals to avoid hunger. By providing kids with the nutrients they need when they're away from school, they show up on Monday morning healthy and ready to learn.
