Description
Join UMBC Hillel for our first service-learning trip of the year to Weekend Backpacks on Wednesday, September 11 at 3:00 PM. Carpools depart the CWB at 2:30 PM.
Weekend Backpacks improves the lives of students in Baltimore affected by food insecurity. All Baltimore City schoolchildren are provided breakfast and lunch at school each day. However, many of the students suffer from food insecurity, lacking sufficient funds to provide them with food when school is not in session. Weekend Backpacks provides child-friendly, nutritious food directly to children in need over the weekends. Each backpack contains enough food to feed three to four people over the weekend.
RSVP at our Linktree by the end of the day on September 9. Reach out to Lisa Huberman at lhuberm1@umbc.edu for more information
