Community Food Program
The Coppell Cares Weekend Backpack Program is designed to help eliminate food insecurity for the children who attend CISD schools. The program provides nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack items to eligible CISD children (and siblings) over the weekends during the school year when they are not receiving meals at school.
