Hosted by Spring Garden Elementary PTA

The annual FEED THE PACK 5K and 1 mile color run at Spring Garden Elementary was created to raise money for our Backpack Program. Through this program, our qualified families in need receive a backpack full of nonperishable food that goes home with the student each weekend and over school holidays. This food feeds not only the SGE student(s), but all siblings under 18 who live in the same home. The funds raised are kept in the PTA's account and are spent to purchase food from the Food Bank. Our counselor, Robina King, distributes the backpacks to the eligible students each Friday and the backpacks come back the following Monday to be refilled.

These backpacks mean everything to some of our students. Some students have expressed how important the food is to their families. This program really does make a great difference!
