Food Bank for the Heartland

Event:
Make an Impact on Childhood Hunger—Sponsor a Child this School Year!

Food Bank for the Heartland's BackPack Program is designed to provide weekend meals for children whose families have limited resources. Childhood hunger has risen across the Heartland with 1 in 5 children experiencing food insecurity.

Each week during the school year, easy-to-prepare or ready-to-eat nutritious food is distributed to 8,700 children in 237 schools in Nebraska and western Iowa. These meals nourish children over the weekend, so they can come back to school ready to learn.

Thanks to the generosity of Woodhouse Auto Family, your gift will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to $500,000 providing TWICE as many BackPack meals for children!
