Bobcat Backpacks​
Mission: Leave No Bobcat Hungry
Bobcat Backpacks is a community program that grew out of a need to fill the gaps for Radford City, Virginia school children receiving free/reduced cost lunches who were hungry over the weekends. Started in 2016 at the request of RCPS Principals and School Counselors, Bobcat Backpacks now feeds around 170 students every weekend and stocks pantries at Radford's intermediate and high school. Weekend bags are also included on the RCPS summer Feed and Read bus.
​ Weekly Packing Schedule
Join us on one of our many packing nights at 5pm at the Presbyterian Church of Radford.
​Bring your friends or your group.

Radford University's 4th Annual
"Radford Gives Back"
Oct. 9 at 5:00pm
The campus-wide food drive donations by University students, faculty, and staff provide nearly 1/3 of our yearly costs. This event is a huge part of why Bobcat Backpacks has been successful in feeding 170 Radford City children every weekend for the past four years. Radford Gives Back provides a bond between Radford University and Radford City that is just as important as the drive itself. The University volunteering to help meet the needs of the community creates connections that strengthen Radford as a whole. Thank you to the Highlanders for helping us meet our goal of Leaving No Bobcat Hungry!
Radford City community members, students, and friends can help us following the Radford University event at the Presbyterian Church of Radford at 6pm. Show your Bobcat Pride!
