The BackPack Program helps Gorham students who are suffering from the effects of hunger by providing free nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to eat during weekends and school vacations when those crucial school meals are unavailable. Please consider helping students experiencing food insecurity.

The program is currently serving over 85 students each weekend and also provides over 125 students with snacks every day. These are the highest numbers since the start of the program several years ago.

Donation checks can be made out to: Gorham School Department with BackPack Program written in the memo line. A receipt will be mailed for tax purposes. Please send to: Hollis Cobb, Finance Officer, Gorham School Department, 75 South Street, Gorham.
