Wildbird Weekend Food Backpack Program
Mount Baker School District is partnering with Wildbird Charity to offer a weekend food backpack program to students at Harmony, Acme, and Kendall Elementary.
The backpack program will provide a bag full of kid-friendly food for your child to take home and eat over the weekend. Food bags will contain nutritious kid-friendly food that requires little or no preparation.
If you are interested in your child/ren participating in a weekend food backpack program this school year, please contact your child’s Family Services Coordinator.
