This program provides shelf-stable, kid-friendly, and healthy food for children to take home from school during the school year; the foods are easily prepared and consumed when parents are working or cannot prepare meals for their children, or if they simply do not have enough food in the home. Each child in a family who is in school will receive their own backpack of food to take home. The food is packed either in the child's own backpack or in one provided by the program; so the child looks no different going home than any other child. The backpack of food is available when needed up to weekly.

Provides each weekday, two dozen lunches are given out from the Emmanuel office door to those who would otherwise not have any food. Food is given on a first come, first served basis.
