Backpack Program
The Methacton Backpack Program provides students in need with supplemental food items. Families who qualify for free/reduced meals may sign up for the Backpack ProgramPlease contact Dr. Rob Corcoran, Eagleville Elementary School Principal, if you would like to receive the Backpack Program food distribution. We send home the supplemental food items with your children on a weekly basis, or drop off the food items at your home on a monthly basis. This is based on family preference.
If you would like to register your family and/or if you have questions, please contact Dr. Rob Corcoran at RCorcoran@methacton.org at 610-489-5000 ext. 41200.
