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!

A new look is coming!

With the help of a skilled professional web/graphic designer, this rudimentary blog I created to raise awareness about our non-profit organization is going to be replaced with better information, easier to read text, far better graphics, a professional look, and links to relevant sites. Watch for the change..........It is coming!
In the meantime, thank you to everyone who has so tirelessly and graciously donated time, money, and food to allow the program to grow and reach more children.
A new school year is about to begin. We will be feeding more children, and always looking for ways to include more. They deserve our help. Thank you for your support!
