DREAM Backpack food items

By donating food and other essentials, you’re helping us fight weekend hunger and send students home with dignity, hope, and the nutrition they need to thrive. Each DREAM Backpack is packed with a variety of kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare items that help nourish students over the weekend. Host a food drive, or contribute everything needed to fill a backpack and feed a child.

You can drop off donations at:
DeSoto County Dream Center
