Sheridan partners with the Food Bank of Lincoln and Lincoln Public Schools' BackPack Program. The BackPack Program provides food for children and their families to help them make it through the weekend. The goal of the program is to provide a backpack of food for at least 30% of families on free/reduced lunch at each LPS elementary school.
We sponsor backpacks for Holmes Elementary. For many of these families these backpacks fill a need for their children that they cannot meet themselves. The backpacks are typically handed out on Friday after school, and often children who are not on the list wait to see if another child is sick so that they can take home a backpack of food.
The program uses six individual menus that are rotated weekly and include fresh fruit weekly and a milk voucher monthly.
There are three main components to the program. Volunteer schedules are managed through our online scheduling tool available at sheridanlutheran.ivolunteer.com. When you signup for a shift you will be sent instructions for your shift. For more information on how to get involved with the BackPack Program please contact us at (402) 423-4769 or serve@sheridanlutheran.org.
