Backpacks needed for Community Bak Pak Program
Program provides food for kids who need food for weekends
March 26, 2020
Editor's note: Julie "JJ" Huntley, representing the Community Bak Pak Program, is asking for help. Below is information from their request:
Lately, many of the backpacks used to provide food for kids on the weekends have not been returned to be re-filled. Hence, we have a shortage of backpacks, moving forward.
The Community Bak Pak Program is continuing on, during this school closure, to support the kids who need food for the weekends. This augments the meals (SCSD#1) currently provides for kids Mon.-Fri. In addition to daily meals, school personnel are distributing the weekend backpacks to the kids/families who have been identified by the school counselors. The point of pick-up is the Pinedale Middle School. (7:30-9:30am & 5:00-6:30pm Mon-Fri)
A clean (trash can) receptacle has been placed by the Pinedale Community United Church of Christ door (church adjacent to the skate park) to receive donations of new or "gently used" backpacks so we can continue providing weekend food to kids who need it. We will launder used packs.
For more information, call JJ at 307-231-9069.
