                 "HUNGRY" IS NO WAY TO SPEND CHILDHOOD

We are dedicated to ensuring that children and families in need of help with food get what they need. 

Each week the Backpack Program provides 300 backpacks to hungry kids over the weekend.

Volunteers in Amery, Clayton, Clear Lake, Frederic, Unity, Polk County Head Start, Turtle Lake and Luck pack backpacks each week filled with food to go home with school children in need of this resource.

 The Backpack Program serves local families who sign up to receive this service. The program was created to offset hunger on the weekends when children, who normally receive a free or reduced rate breakfast and lunch at school, wouldn't have access to that same resource on the weekend.  The Backpack is filled with items to help reduce hunger for a child and their family.

Each Backpack Contains:

·Dinner

·Breakfast

·Fruit

·Vegetable

·Snack

·2x per month, Milk Coupon
