Portage Backpack Program

The Portage BackPack Program provides weekend meals to over 160 children across all 11 Portage Township Schools. If you would like to inquire about how your child can receive these weekend meals, please call or email your child's School Adviser. 

The BackPack Program is funded by community support as all BackPack Fund donations support feeding our children in Portage Township Schools.

Online donations can be completed at https://foodbanknwi.org/donate-online/ or mailed to Crisman Elementary School (Principal Scott Hufford, Attn: BackPack Program, 6161 Old Porter Road 46368).  Please make sure to specify the Portage BackPack Fundraiser in either the memo section of your check or in the comments section of the online donation form. Your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
