Backpack Snack Attack

Backpack Snack Attack is an outreach program of the Warwick Reformed Church that feeds nearly 300 children in the Town of Warwick. The church started the program in January 2009 to provide food for hungry school children to eat at home on the weekends during the school year, when school meals are not available. In the Fall of 2011, they expanded to include all public schools – Florida, Greenwood Lake and Warwick.

They provide the backpacks and individually sized, ready to eat (including microwavable), kid friendly food items for the children and their siblings every weekend.

During the summer, they distribute ShopRite and Staples gift cards to each family to assist with purchasing snacks for the summer and school supplies for the upcoming school year.

The Backpack Snack Attack program is fueled by volunteers and supported by fundraising, donations and grants.
