Each Thursday we deliver “back packs” full of the following items for the children to enjoy over the weekend.

- Fruit cups or applesauce cups-4 ounce each 100%
- Fruit juice containere-4 ounce each(plus or minus)
- Soft protein bars-can be cereal with fruit bars

- Cereal bars with milk-individually packaged. 1 ounce each(plus or minus)
