Backpack Program

Triumph

Give:
In the foyer, you will find a backpack donation box. Each month we will highlight foods that Triumph will be specifically collecting. You can place items in those boxes at any time. A complete list of food items needed is available on the great plains food bank website. You can also give funds to directly support the backpack program. It costs $4.25 to fill a backpack for the weekend for one child. To sponsor a child for one year its $162 . Funds can be given directly to Triumph, or to the Great Plains Food Bank.
Donate:
A variety of single-serve items are used in packing Back Packs. Anything microwavable and easy to open is welcome! The top 5 food items are:
Individual 4-6 oz. Juice Boxes

Each Month, the Triumph Backpack Committee will list dates that are available to go to Great Plains Food Bank to help pack backpacks, or other needs that the Great Plains Food Bank may have.
