Your child is invited to participate in the Luke’s Backpack program, which is a partnership between the Shenandoah Community Health Clinic (SCHC) and Luke’s Backpack to provide meals and snacks for your child over the weekend when the public school is in session. This is a confidential, free program with no cost to you.

Luke’s Backpack volunteers pack the food (for example, canned meals, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cereal, fruit juice, shelf-stable milk, fruit cups, granola bars) and deliver it to the clinic. On Fridays, the clinic will give the bag to your child to take home for the weekend. Luke’s Backpack strives to include healthy and safe food. All food is labeled and sealed by the manufacturer.

The program continues throughout the summer break unless you choose to end your child’s enrollment.
