Elementary school children walking home with backpacks and brown lunch bags

WEEKEND HUNGER GAP

From shelf to backpack

Suppliers donate food. Volunteers pack and deliver it. Kids who’d otherwise go hungry head into the weekend with a bag in hand — every Friday, before the bell rings.

From the last bell to the first bell

No kid goes hungry on our watch

School meals keep kids fed Monday through Friday. Daily Bread covers the rest: weekend bags, holiday boxes, and summer break deliveries so Texas children have reliable food at home.

How the weekend bag gets home

A simple loop between schools, packing hubs, and volunteer drivers — built so every child has food when class is not in session.

Schools identify kids

Teachers and counselors discreetly flag families who need extra food support for weekends and school breaks.

Hubs pack weekend bags

Volunteers fill brown-bag kits with breakfast, lunch, and snack items tailored to each child's age and allergies.

Volunteers get it home

Bags go home on Friday, to bus stops, or to doorsteps — so kids have food from the last bell to the first bell.

Get involved

Every brown bag a child carries home starts with someone local. Pick the way you want to help.
