Parents Register Here: Survive & Thrive Food Program

Weekends Without Hunger! When students leave schools and daycares for the weekend, the last thing they should have to worry about is how they are going to get their next meal. Thanks to our Survive & Thrive Backpack program, weekends are worry free for our TPDS kids!

TPDS Survive & Thrive Backpack program provides children who don’t have enough to eat with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food at times when other resources are not available.

The concept is simple: children at risk of weekend hunger receive a bag of food that is child-friendly, nutritious, nonperishable and easy to eat. Partnering with local schools, Backpacks are distributed every Friday so that children have meals for the weekend.

Healthy Happy Kids! Each Backpack provides enough food that a child can easily assemble into four healthy meals. This helps ensure that children will have food over the weekend and return to school on Monday ready to learn. Our Backpacks are packed by volunteers and include four healthy kid-friendly meals for each day. Backpacks are distributed on the weekend and before a school holiday.

Every Friday, each participating child receives a backpack with enough food for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners and 2 snacks. Meals consist of nutritious, child-friendly items that are easy to prepare and taste good!
