In Yakima County many children live without three daily meals. To help lessen the impact on some of these children’s lives, Sunrise Outreach Center operates two weekend meal backpack programs in the communities of Mabton and Harrah. The program provides weekend meals to 125 elementary aged children during the school year.

To ensure the inclusion of wholesome, easy-to-prepare foods and healthy snacks for these backpacks, we ask that community members that want to support this program donate funds for us to purchase these foodstuffs.

If you’d like to donate to support the Backpack Program, please contact us.
