School District 73 (Kamloops) carries on with Starfish Backpack program as students learn from home Apr 16, 2020

KAMLOOPS — During a normal school year, the Kamloops-Thompson School District works with community partners to provide food for students in need. Unfortunately, numerous families in Kamloops do not have the financial means to provide three full meals daily. The school district has committed to continuing to provide food for students through the Starfish Backpack program but has had to rework how food is distributed. On Thursday (Apr. 16), school district employees were working to fill bags with food for vulnerable students and families. “We currently have 140 backpacks that are made once a week for students at 13 different schools, and it’s enough food for the weekend,” said Vessy Mochikas, the school district’s director of elementary education and learning services. Previously the school district had partnered with the Kamloops Food Bank and the United Way to provide food for students through the Starfish Backpack program. “Since we have returned to school from Spring Break, the food bank, as you can imagine, has been overwhelmed with trying to meet the demand of citizens in Kamloops, so the school district has taken on the Starfish Backpack program,” Mochikas said. “Canuel Caterers, who does our lunch program, has been kind enough to connect us with their food vendors.”
