Backpack Food Program Enrollment Form

Help Fight Weekend Hunger with Our Backpack Food Program

Weekend food insecurity affects thousands of children who rely on free or reduced-price school lunches during the week. When Friday arrives, many students face uncertain access to nutritious meals until Monday morning. Our Backpack Food Program Enrollment Form makes it simple and dignified for families to access weekend food support through schools and community organizations.

Designed for Nonprofit Food Programs and School Partnerships

This enrollment template is built specifically for food banks, school districts, parent-teacher organizations, and nonprofit hunger relief programs that operate backpack or weekend food distribution initiatives. Whether you're a program coordinator at a community food pantry, a school social worker, or a volunteer-led charity, this form streamlines the enrollment process while maintaining the sensitivity and confidentiality these programs require.

The form collects essential information including free/reduced lunch qualification status, dietary restrictions and food allergies, family size and distribution preferences, all while keeping the process respectful and straightforward for families who may already be navigating difficult circumstances.

Paperform Makes Enrollment Simple and Secure

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on previous answers—showing allergy detail fields only when needed, or adjusting follow-up questions based on grade level or pickup preferences. The doc-style editor lets you add compassionate, encouraging language throughout the form, plus images or videos explaining how the program works and what families can expect each week.

Because this form handles sensitive family information, Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and secure data handling give program administrators confidence that enrollment data is protected. Submissions can flow directly into Google Sheets for program tracking, Airtable for case management, or your CRM for follow-up communications and delivery coordination.

Automate Workflows with Stepper

Once a family enrolls, there's usually more to do—confirming eligibility, coordinating with school staff, scheduling first delivery, and maintaining ongoing communication. With Stepper (stepper.io), you can automate the post-enrollment workflow: send a welcome email with program details, notify school liaisons of new enrollments, create tasks for volunteers to prepare the first backpack, and set reminders for quarterly re-verification. This keeps your small but mighty team focused on feeding kids, not chasing paperwork.

Flexible, Branded and Ready to Share

Customize the form's colors, fonts and imagery to match your nonprofit's brand or school district identity. Embed it directly on your website, share via a branded link in school newsletters, or even set it up on a tablet at enrollment events. Paperform's mobile-friendly design ensures parents can complete enrollment from any device, any time.

Trusted by nonprofits nationwide, Paperform helps food security programs enroll families with dignity, track distributions with confidence, and keep their mission moving forward—all without needing a developer or complicated software.
