No child should go hungry, and thanks to Georgetown Backpack Buddies, over 1,000 GISD students head into each weekend with nutritious food they can count on. What started as a small pilot in 2009 has grown into a lifeline for families across all 20 GISD schools, ensuring children have what they need to stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.
In this video, Board President Rusty Langford shares how the program is doing more than filling food packs. It is helping kids thrive, strengthening families, and building a community where every child has the chance to reach their full potential.
Watch to see the heart, commitment, and impact behind this essential work.
