Methacton Backpack Program

The Methacton Backpack Program provides students in need with supplemental food items.

Families who qualify for free/reduced meals are eligible to apply for the Backpack Program. Complete the following form to register your child(ren) for the 2023-2024 school year.

This form will remain open through the end of the school year to accommodate our families as their needs may change. If you have any questions or issues registering your family, please contact Dr. Dani Fowlston at dfowlston@methacton.org. Backpack Program distributions for families are done on a monthly basis.

If you would like to donate food items to the Backpack Program (see list of needed items below), please email Ms. Liz Drummond or Ms. Gabby Winters at methactonbackpack@gmail.com to arrange for donation pick-up or drop-off.
