All Baltimore City schoolchildren are provided a free breakfast and lunch on school days. However, those experiencing food insecurity face the weekend without that same reliable access to food. Weekend Backpacks aims to bridge this gap by providing nutritious, child-friendly food to students and their families for the weekends.
The mission of Weekend Backpacks is to improve the lives of students affected by food insecurity in Baltimore.
We envision that all students are nourished and ready to learn.The prevalence of food insecurity in Baltimore and its effects on learning drives Weekend Backpacks’ mission. We address food insecurity, which is a USDA term referring to the household- level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Whereas hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity.
Founded in 2010 by military veterans in Baltimore, The Sixth Branch (T6B) was born from a desire to transition from serving their country to serving their local community. Recognizing the opportunity to utilize their skills in the disinvested neighborhoods of East Baltimore, our founders embarked on a mission to revitalize the community for the benefit of all. This commitment to community service led to the establishment of T6B as a 501(c)(3) neighborhood development nonprofit.T6B is dedicated to playing an active and transformative role in Baltimore’s ecosystem of organizations and institutions serving its communities. Our aim is to raise, organize, and optimize resources to enhance health, well-being, connection, and growth in these neighborhoods.
Cultivating equitable Baltimore neighborhoods through community partnership and environmental stewardship.We envision a Baltimore where all residents can thrive in deep connection with nature and community.
