Feed The Bay Backpack program

Sponsor a Student. Change a Weekend. Shape a Future.

Feed The Bay exists because every week hundreds of students in our community face food insecurity — not just during school, but especially on the weekends. When school cafeterias close, many children simply don’t have enough to eat. You can change that — for just $17 a month.

  • The Need

    Hunger Doesn’t Take Weekends Off

    In our local schools, a significant number of kids rely on free or reduced lunch during the week — but when the weekend arrives, many face empty cupboards and inconsistent meals.

    Feed The Bay exists to bridge that gap. By providing weekend food for at-risk students, we help ensure they return to school on Monday well fed, focused, and ready to learn.

  • What Feed The Bay Provides

    What a Sponsored Student Receives

    Each sponsored student receives a weekly food bag filled with:

    * Easy-to-prepare meals
    * Kid-friendly snacks
    * Nutritious options supporting energy & focus
    * Consistent care from a community that sees them

    These bags are discreetly delivered to schools and placed into students’ backpacks every Friday.

    It’s simple, dignified, and life-changing.

  • The Scale of the Mission

    The Need Is Growing — and You Can Help Us Meet It

    Feed The Bay currently supports over 250 students across:

    * Anchor Bay Elementary Schools
    * Anchor Bay Middle Schools
    * Anchor Bay High School programs
    * Anchor Bay Preschool programs
    * New Haven Elementary

    Our goal is to sponsor 260 students each school year — ensuring that every at-risk student has reliable weekend food.
