BackPack Beginnings is dedicated to making a difference for local children and families by providing for their tangible basic needs. Our mission is to deliver child-centric services to feed, comfort and clothe children in need. By ensuring food and basic necessities are given directly to children in need, we are making a positive and lasting impact on the health and well-being of over 21,000 children in our community.
“Since 2020 we have seen quite an increase in the needs in our area as the pandemic has progressed and we are hearing more and more families requesting fresh produce. We are sending out about twice as much food each month than we did before the pandemic. In the past, we have taken a lot of the produce from Share the Harvest to the Hayes Taylor YMCA to be distributed to the children in need who attend the camps in the summer. The families are always excited to get the produce!”

The mission is to provide a transformation of the neighborhood into a healthy, safe, vibrant environment so that it will become a model sustainable community.
“Because of Covid 19, we have been doing outreach to 60 or more families. Some of them are living in a hotel. They have no transportation and low or no income. Our goal is to make sure that they are eating healthy by distributing fresh vegetables to each family weekly.”

Grocery Assistance
The program provides a 7-day supply of groceries (approximately 31.5 pounds) to each patron and family member once a month. The CSNP is one of the select few programs that provides fresh produce and frozen meats on a year-round basis and is the only grocery assistance program that provides a home-delivery service to Guilford County homebound seniors and incapacitated adults on a monthly basis.
They distribute at the following locations:
Greensboro: 1806 Merritt Drive (Definition Church)
High Point: 1012 Leonard Ave. (St. Stephen AME Zion Church)
“Share the Harvest provides much needed fresh produce to the CSNP to distribute to residents of our community who are in need of assistance of nutritionally sound food. The CSNP has partnered with STH for over 5 years and has received more than 1000 pounds of produce during the growing season. These donations help the CSNP serve over 1800 individuals each month. Thank you Share the Harvest for all you do for the CSNP, our patrons, and the greater community!”
