The Nekoosa Backpack Program's mission is to alleviate short-term food insecurity by providing a weekend's worth of nutritious food in a backpack for families whose children are students in the Nekoosa School District.

How does the Backpack Program work?
Eligible families receive a backpack at the end of the week.  The backpack is returned to school at the beginning of the following week in order for it to be filled for the next weekend.
