Need a little help with the grocery bill?  Sign up for the Summer Backpack Program!

The Summer Backpack Program aims to provide supplemental food for low-income students during the summer months. No proof of income is required—if you need it, you're welcome to apply! Each bag contains approximately 11 pounds of food per week, and this service is completely free of charge. 

The bags are provided by Community Harvest Food Bank and are distributed by Fremont Youth and Community Outreach (FYCO Food Pantry). 

The program is open to any student in the Fremont District.

Deadline to sign up is May 16, 2025

You will be contacted to make arrangements for pickup.  Depending on the number of kids who apply, we are hoping that you will need to pick up only one time for the entire summer supply.

Families will need to pickup at:  
Fremont Youth and Community Outreach
601 N Coldwater St
Fremont, IN 46737
