Backpack Program
In Georgetown, KY, local backpack programs—such as those operated by the AMEN House and Blessings in a Backpack—provide weekend meals and kid-friendly groceries to hundreds of food-insecure children across local Scott County schools.
These impactful initiatives are organized in partnership with local schools, area churches, and community volunteers. Key programs serving the area include:
* The AMEN House (Scott County): This organization partners with local Family Resource Centers to provide food to hundreds of kids across 8 Scott County schools so they do not go hungry over the weekend.
* Western Elementary Blessings in a Backpack: Supported heavily by community partners like Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, this program packs and distributes bags filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to elementary students.
* Georgetown First United Methodist Church: They operate a long-standing program that packs and provides weekend food bags specifically for students at Southern Elementary.
