Backpack Buddies
Backpack Buddies provides nutritious,
kid-friendly, single-serve food to children on free or reduced lunch.
Weekend food packs are placed in a backpack and handed out to children
who would otherwise be at risk of going hungry over the weekend. Second
Harvest hopes to serve 1,350 children in a 7-county* area through
Backpack Buddies for the 2009 - 2010 school year, including 715 children
in St. Joseph schools.
Serving 715 St. Joseph children in the upcoming school year will be an
increase of 65 children and will include every St. Joseph elementary
school. We need your help to do this!
