Backpack Initiative

The Backpack Initiative is a PTA program that provides weekend food supplies to Pittsburgh Dilworth students experiencing food insecurity.  Each participating student receives a bag of child-friendly single-serving snacks and easily prepared meals to bring home every Friday. Food is donated, packed, and distributed by Dilworth volunteers, and we strive to include protein, whole grains, fruits, and dairy products in each bag. Parents and guardians can enroll students anytime during the school year by using our online form following the QR code below. 

We would greatly appreciate food donations from our Amazon Wishlist (coming soon!).  Any purchases you make from the wishlist will automatically be sent to us and will be used to fill the bags that are sent home each weekend with Dilworth students.  As always, thank you for your much appreciated support!
