In the 2023-2024 school year, amost 600 children are receiving assistance each week through this program.  There are no geographic boundries for the Backpack Attack Program.  We serve children in every school in the Robertson County school system.

You can help the Backpack Attack Program in three ways.

1.  Make a cash or food donation.

• Cash donations can be mailed to the TNKids office at 1006 Pepper Street, Springfield, TN  37172-3146

• Food Donations can be brought to the TNKids office or you can call us at 615-973-7050 to arrange a more convenient drop off location. We will also pick up your items if that would be helpful.  Click here to see the list of food items that are needed.

2.  Sponsor A Child. 

For $100, you can sponsor a child.  This amount will provide a year's worth of food for a child.

3.  Link your Kroger Plus Card to TNKids

Kroger is giving money to non-profits and schools.  The amount an agency receives is based on how much is spent by those who have designated that agency to receive benefits on their Plus Card.  This benefit does not cost the customer anything.  To have your Plus Card linked to TNKids, send an email to TNKids@TNKids.org or a text to 615-973-7050.  Include your name and address and the number on the back of the Plus Card.
