…BUT, WHY THE IDAHO FOODBANK? WHAT IS THE BACKPACK BUDDY PROGRAM?
There is a HUGE food insecurity problem across the entire state of Idaho. So many children in Idaho are going without food when they are not in school. For example…
“Timmy” goes to school and is provided breakfast and lunch.
“Timmy” goes home from school each day without dinner. His family might not be around, they are unable to provide a meal for him, or every member of the family is sharing a small portion to get by.
“Timmy” goes home on the weekends with NO. FOOD.
Believe it or not, this is a true problem that so many Idaho families are struggling with.
But, the Idaho Foodbank has been working really hard with nutritionists to create backpacks filled with easy to prepare, nutritious foods for children to take home on the weekends so they don’t go hungry. These kids can receive a backpack from their school, that they can take home with them, discreetly. The need for Backpack Buddies is so important and that’s where you come in! You can donate to the program, or become a backpack buddy yourself, where you can take care of a child for an entire year.
Here we are with some volunteers, building backpacks at the Idaho Foodbank!
