This is a partnership between the Monticello Community School District and the HACAP Food Reservoir, Operation BackPack provides a food pack of kid-friendly, nonperishable food for your child for weekends and school breaks. This program is available without cost to those families PreK to 6th grade that meet the income guidelines. Applications are available at each school’s office.
Items may include pop-top canned meals, macaroni and cheese, soy/sun butter, cereal, fruit juice, shelf-stable milk, fruit, and granola bars. The food will be placed into a food bag and given to your child at the end of the day. The food is not intended to be opened until your child is home.
