Got Your Back

Got your back is a weekend nutrition program for food-insecure students in the Central Coast community. Our program ensures that no student goes hungry when they’re off campus.

Currently serving schools in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, we provide backpacks full of food to help bridge the hunger gap over the weekend.

Each backpack includes 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, snacks, and juice. We discreetly deliver the backpacks to the kids to protect their privacy.

To operate, our volunteer-based program relies on donations from the community.

It takes:

  • $10 to sponsor a child for a week

  • $40 for 1 month

  • $190 for a semester

  • $380 for an entire school year

Got Your Back currently serves:

40 kids at Del Mar Elementary

20 at Cayucos Elementary

20 at Cambria Grammar School

20 at Cambria Middle School

Got Your Back, like our Bags of Love and Sunshine and Seed programs, is brought to life through the generous donations and volunteer work of our community. Your contributions change the lives of students across the Central Coast.
