Brookings Backpack Project

BBP is a non profit working to prevent food insecurity for children in the area by providing weekly food to children and families.

Our Mission is to:  To provide children and youth in the Brookings area, who may not have enough food to eat at home, by providing them with easy-to-prepare weekend meals and snacks throughout the year. Meet the nutritional needs of children as well as promote their physical, cognitive and social development and enhance their overall sense of well-being. Educate the public about the necessity of providing food to those in need and collaborate with organizations by sharing information in the weekly bags about additional resources available to families
