We are counting down the days to one of our favorite nights of the year! Please mark your calendars for Dining at the Chef’s Table on Friday, August 28, 2026. This special evening features a delicious sit down dinner, silent and live auctions, and a fun night with our incredible community, all in support of the BackPack Weekend Food Program.
We sell out every year, so be sure to watch for tickets to go on sale in early July 2026. Until then, enjoy a look back at some special moments from last year’s event. We can’t wait to see you there!
As we look back on the 2025–2026 school year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible community that makes the BackPack Weekend Food Program possible. Together, we served nearly 900 students in 44 schools across the Gaston County School system with the help of 52 community partners, more than 500 volunteers, and over 8,000 volunteer service hours.
From unloading food trucks and pulling food orders in the warehouse, to packing dental kits and supporting our annual fundraiser, every helping hand made a difference. Thank you to our volunteers, partners, school coordinators, donors, and supporters for showing up for the children of Gaston County all year long. We are deeply grateful for you!

It is hard to believe, but today was our last food delivery day of the school year! Because our food is delivered a month in advance, everything is now unpacked, organized, and ready for our volunteers next Tuesday at our final pull day.
Even though deliveries are wrapping up, the BWFP team will be hard at work all summer preparing for our annual fundraiser on August 28th, 2026 and getting everything in place for the next school year. There is so much happening behind the scenes to make sure we are ready to serve students from day one.
Thank you for being part of what makes this work possible. We could not do it without you!
