Food Distribution, Children, BackPack Program available at Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin

Backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods provide nourishment on long weekends and other out-of-school times for children considered at risk of hunger. In conjuction with a school district and a community agency that acquires food through Second Harvest, backpacks are filled with food and a teacher discretely hangs it in a child’s locker to be taken home on the last school day before the break. The child returns the empty backpack on the next day back at school. This is Second Harvest’s newest program to fight child hunger. It is designed for small town/rural communities and serves the Evansville and Tomah School Districts.
