During the 2017-2018 school year, we began as a pilot food backpack program in collaboration with the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Pantry, providing weekend food bags for any interested Granby Public School students in grades preschool through grade six. With great success, we began offering the program for grades preschool through grade 12 in the 2018-2019 school year with support from Neighbors Helping Neighbors and the United Way of Pioneer Valley. We now serve over 100 Granby Public School students and their families, providing food, clothing, and a lending library regardless of socioeconomic status. ​
