Got Your Back San Diego is a weekend food assistance program developed specifically for children attending San Diego County schools who have been identified as homeless and/or food insecure. Every week we deliver backpacks full of food to local Tri-City schools. Each backpack contains 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, and a few healthy snacks, enough food to sustain a child throughout the weekend. On Friday afternoons, school representatives (liaisons) distribute the full backpacks to children in need and collect the empty backpacks from the prior week. Also included in each backpack is an interactive homework assignment to teach kids about food and making healthy food choices.
