The Fairmount Park Elementary Food Support Program started in the 2016-2017 school year with a dedicated group of volunteers lead by a former FPE teacher, Ms. Cindy Gano. It began as a Backpack Program, which is part of many school communities, whether directly through the PTA or through individual volunteers. These programs are designed to provide families within the school community with shelf-stable meals outside the school hours.

The Fairmount Park Food Support Program now includes several modes of support with the Backpack Program, weekly deliveries of fresh produce and staples delivered to each family’s address, and monthly deliveries from Amazon Fresh which each family can customize to their needs. This is continuous throughout the full calendar year.
