From Portland Backpack:
We currently partner with ten Portland Public Schools: Cesar Chavez, Chief Joseph, Harrison Park, Lee, Lent, Martin Luther King Jr., Rigler, Rosa Parks, Scott, and Woodlawn. At each, there is a school staff person who coordinates our program. They make sure that their students who need food the most are included. They maintain the list of the kids, and weekly are responsible to distribute the food sacks classroom by classroom to be tucked into each kid’s backpack.
