Weekend food program
Every weekend North East Wake Backpack Buddies(NEWBB) aims to lessen the number of children dealing with food insecurity (1 in 4 in North Carolina) by providing hungry students with a bag of kid-friendly food for all weekend meals and snacks. These students are identified by counselors and teachers as food insecure. Currently, NEWBB works out of 4 pantries and serves 450 plus students weekly at 18 local schools.
