Feed a School, 
Change lives

Imagine if every school child could learn without the distraction of hunger

The Backpack Brigade Adopt-A-School Program is a campaign to keep Seattle-area children well fed on the weekends so they can learn at their best during the weeks. Adopt a school by targeting your giving to support the school of your choice. Flexible and scalable - adopt a whole school or a portion of one.

It's easy to adopt a school

"As a 30-year veteran in education I am thrilled that every penny of my Adopt-A-School donation goes directly to supporting the school I once founded, helping it thrive."

“As a small business that has proudly adopted a local school, we have not only witnessed firsthand the benefits this program brings to the students, but it also has strengthened the bond between our business and the community.”

The kids are more focused and ready to learn when they come back to school on Mondays, knowing they didn't have to worry about their next meal. It's heartwarming to know that our support is helping them thrive both in and out of the classroom. We're proud to be part of this program and to make a positive impact on our community.
