Impactful Programs for Child Hunger Relief in Lincoln

Bringing Hope, One Backpack at a Time

At The Perfect Companion Incorporated, we believe that every child deserves to feel supported, nourished, and cared for—especially when they head home for the weekend. That's why we're excited to introduce our Backpack Meal Program, designed to ensure that no child goes hungry outside of school hours.

How It Works: With the help of generous donors like you, we fill sturdy, colorful backpacks with nutritious, easy-to-prepare meal items. Each backpack contains a thoughtful mix of fresh produce, canned goods, and snacks, giving children the energy and nourishment they need to thrive.

You Can Help! Your support makes this possible. By donating, you can: • Sponsor a fully packed backpack for a child in need. • Contribute to a box of canned fruit to enhance meal variety. • Help us provide essential meal ingredients to keep children nourished all weekend long.

Every donation is a gift of hope, helping to fuel young minds and bodies. Together, we can create a community where no child goes hungry.

More Than Meals, A Perfect Companion for Growing Minds.

One of the key programs offered by THE PERFECT COMPANION INCORPORATED is the Weekend Backpack Program, which ensures that children have access to nutritious food even when they are not in school. This program helps to bridge the gap in food access during weekends, when school meals are not available. Additionally, the After-School Meal Program provides children with a nutritious meal at the end of the school day, helping to alleviate hunger and ensure that students are well-nourished. This program not only addresses immediate food needs but also supports improved concentration and academic performance. During the summer months, THE PERFECT COMPANION INCORPORATED runs a Summer Food Program to ensure that children continue to have access to healthy meals when school is out of session. This program helps to prevent food insecurity during the summer break when families may face additional challenges in providing consistent meals for their children. Mobile Food Distribution is another crucial program offered by the organization, bringing fresh produce and pantry staples directly to communities in need. This initiative helps to reach families who may have limited access to transportation or live in food deserts, ensuring that nutritious food is available to all children in the Lincoln area. To support these vital programs, THE PERFECT COMPANION INCORPORATED relies on a variety of funding sources, including individual donations, corporate sponsorships, grants, fundraising events, and in-kind donations.

By tracking metrics such as the number of children served, meals distributed, volunteer engagement, funds raised, and partnerships formed, the organization can assess the success of its initiatives and make data-driven decisions for future growth. In addition to its on-the-ground efforts, THE PERFECT COMPANION INCORPORATED has developed a comprehensive website that serves as a hub for online donations, volunteer recruitment, event promotion, impact stories, education and awareness, and newsletter sign-ups. This digital platform enables supporters to engage with the organization, learn about its programs, and contribute to the mission of ending child hunger in Lincoln. Overall, THE PERFECT COMPANION INCORPORATED is making a tangible difference in the lives of children facing food insecurity in Lincoln through its impactful programs and dedicated community support.
