Back the Pack operates as a part of the Logistics and Distribution instructional program at Rock Hill Schools Applied Technology Center. Students enrolled in logistics and distribution courses levels one through four learn essential skills and experiences related to warehouse, distribution, logistics, and transportation career opportunities. Students learn and work in authentic environments using industry-standard equipment and procedures as well as have opportunities to obtain experience through field studies, guest speakers, and by working to administer the Back the Pack program. Advanced level coursework enables students to earn credentials and leave the program 85% industry trained.

Rock Hill Schools Education Foundation partners Rock Hill Schools to provide Back the Pack as a resource for students in need of nutritional support.  The Applied Technology Center provides a workforce in training to receive, sort, package, and distribute food.  Second Harvest Food Bank of the Metrolina provides Back the Pack with food and packaging products.
