Based in Washington, IA, the Backpack Program is dedicated to combating food insecurity among children in our community. Each week, we collaborate with local schools to send home bags filled with nutritious, single-serve food items in the backpacks of children in need, ensuring they have access to meals over the weekend. With the support of volunteers and community partners, this initiative strives to feed hundreds of hungry children annually, fostering a brighter future for our youth through essential food assistance.
