Hamilton Heights Backpack Program

In 2017, Grand Point Church was approached by Hamilton Heights Elementary School to partner in assisting with the weekend nutritional needs of their students.  Access to assisted school program meals is not available during non-school days, and there were some students who may not qualify for free/reduced lunches but needed nutritional support.  This partnership, known as the Hamilton Height’s Backpack Program, was formed to address the growing concerns for food insecurity among students and their families.

Initially, we provided weekend nutrition for 20 students.  Today, we serve 39 students at this elementary school.

The Backpack Program provides eligible students with two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks, two fruits/vegetables, and two drinks over the weekends when access to other nutrition programs are not available.  The GPC – Chambersburg Youth pack these lunches each week as part of their community service work.

As part of our desire to assist the students and families at Hamilton Heights, we have also provided Thanksgiving meals, Christmas gifts, and Easter meals.

How can you help with this outreach?

We try to keep enough food supplies on hand so that each student’s bag is the same.  Below are the items that we pack in these bags.  We will gratefully accept donations of these items (delivered to our GPC-Chambersburg campus) or financial donations toward the purchase of these items.

  • Individual size packets of oatmeal
  • Single-serve cereal boxes or bowls
