THE BACKPACK NUTRITION PROGRAM
Â
Hands On Hartford’s Backpack Nutrition Program is designed to help alleviate the hunger of children in Hartford by providing them with easy to prepare, child-friendly foods to bring home.
Why is the Backpack Nutrition Program Important?
The children we serve receive breakfast and lunch at school but go hungry on the weekends. As the rest of us enter the weekend looking forward to rest and relaxation – maybe going out to a nice dinner – these children face the anxiety and despair of knowing there will not be enough to eat.
Backed by 232 Jack and Jill of America, Inc. chapters, we are investing and positively impacting African American communities across the United States.
We began almost 50 years ago with a group of women, who believed in the power of philanthropy and the ability to have a voice in how contributions were spent. Since inception in 1968, we’ve invested millions of dollars in communities all across America.
Today we continue to grow our impact through our vision to transform African American communities, one child at a time.
As the philanthropic arm of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., Jack and Jill Foundation’s mission is to address issues affecting African American children and families, by investing in programs and services that create a strong foundation for children to thrive long-term.
