Cat Packs is Dallastown’s weekend backpack program, which provides supplemental food to children in need within the Dallastown Area School District at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations. Currently, over 100 Cat Packs are distributed weekly throughout grades 4-12 (at this time, each elementary building is able to operate their own program efficiently). Items are packed in discreet bags, which students pick up at designated locations each week (additional pick-up options are available on a case-by-case basis). Cat Packs works collaboratively with the community to ensure that no child ever has to go without food and basic toiletry items.
