For more than a decade Sheridan has partnered with the Food Bank of Lincoln’s BackPack Program to help provide food backpacks for children and their families. This program provides a weekend of meals for students in the “BackPack Club” during the school year. Each week, these students receive a bag that includes five meals and frequently has a voucher for milk, eggs and bread. Sheridan Lutheran Church sponsors 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 Sheridan community has always been generous to this program since the beginning. Today, the funding needs of the BackPack Program have changed and more donors are at the table. This is great for our children in need in the community of Lincoln!
There are three main volunteer components to the program. Volunteer schedules are managed online. When you signup for a shift you will be sent instructions.
