About Us
Our staff & volunteers
Our staff is comprised of dedicated volunteers who have witnessed first hand children attending school chronically hungry. They are committed to helping the children who experience hunger on a regular basis. Our council members are teachers, restaurant managers, accounts managers, retired postal workers. counselors, business & medical personnel. The thought of children going hungry during the weekend or holiday breaks, weighed heavy on their hearts so they got together and began this non profit backpack program. One hundred percent (100% ) of the donations go directly to the recipients of the backpacks, the children in our community.
Our history
We became aware of the need in the community through Michele Ledoux a school teacher.With help from a few family members and others willing to help volunteer, she purchased and collected enough supplies to fill Holiday backpacks for children at the school where she teaches . .
Our mission
Helping chronically hungry children by supplying backpacks filled with food. Our mission is the prevention of hunger in children. To provide food for school age children who have been identified as suffering from chronic hunger. We distribute backpacks of food on weekends and summer breaks to students, regardless of the child's race, ethnicity or religion.
