Backpack Buddies
One in four southern Ohio children are considered food insecure, which means they don’t have consistent access to enough nutritious food. Many of these children rely on school meals to provide breakfast and lunch during the school year. During breaks, such as weekends and holidays, many of these children go home to little or no meals. The Backpack Buddy program works to fill that gap by providing nutritious, child-friendly food for school children to take home over the weekend. Many local schools in Lawrence County offer the Backpack Buddies program, please contact your child’s school district to find out more information.
