Jefferson PTA Backpack Food Program
Jefferson PTA operates a food bank and weekend backpack program for families identified as needing additional support by staff and counselors at the school.
We are thrilled to be partnering with Backpacks of Hope and the Mill Creek Food Bank again for the 2025-2026 school year!
With the support of Backpacks for Hope, we will continue to send home backpacks each week for Charger families that are food insecure.
In order to accommplish this feat, we need a group of volunteers to pick up pre-packed bags of food from the Mill Creek Food Bank on Thursdays, deliver the food bags to Jefferson Elementary, and transfer the food items into the program backpacks for our Chargers to take home on Fridays.
