DECA Backpack Buddies
This is DECA’s 13th year planning and implementing the DECA Backpack Buddies community service project. Frankfort DECA has committed to feeding 120 Frankfort elementary, middle, and high school students. In order to feed 120 students for 34 weeks, Frankfort DECA is needing to raise $13,260 to purchase non-perishable, easy-to-make snacks for weekend Buddy Bags.
Since August 2011, DECA Backpack Buddies has raised $157,635.06 through financial and product donations. As of February 22, 2024, 51,327 weekend Buddy Bags have been distributed to 1,658 unique Frankfort students. The success of the community service project is the result of all of the individuals, churches, grants, and businesses who donate resources each year.
