How Do We Feed Them All? La Grande Friday Backpack Program is a beginning!

Food insecurity is everywhere. Children are leaving school on Fridays with the possibility of having little food for the weekend. If they are eligible for free and/or reduced lunch, school may be the only place they are guaranteed of a meal. The Friday Backpack Program in La Grande is addressing these needs with the help of a gracious community, sending supplemental food home for the weekend. This is a priority, feeding our children!
