BACKPACK PROGRAM

Weekend Meal Program For Children

TMCS will continue to team up with Tipp City Schools to provide weekend meals for students. The Backpack Program provides a weekend supply of nutritious food for children during weekends and extended school breaks. The program is open and available to any family in the Tipp City schools. Requests must be made through the school guidance counselor. There is no charge to participate in this program. 

Each Friday bag contains enough nonperishable food for two breakfasts, two lunches, six snacks, and two dinners. 

TMCS collects and bags the donated food items for each child. A representative from the school board office collects the bags and ensures that each child in the program receives one before leaving school on Fridays.

If you want to make a food or monetary donation, don't hesitate to contact TMCS at 937-667-8631.

The cost to participate is $40 for residents and $42 for nonresidents. All skill levels are welcome, and no prior experience is required.
