The Backpack program provides nutritious and comforting food–in a backpack– to help sustain students in need over the weekends and during school breaks.
A Community Health Foundation grant of $5,000 helped the school system serve 110 students in the last school year which was an increase in the number of students seeking help. CHF also provided a grant of $5,000 for this year’s school program. Students are healthier and happier when they have yummy food readily available!
