Volunteers are needed to support the Weakley County Backpack Program, which provides nutritious weekend meals to students who may otherwise go hungry. Each Friday, food bags are placed discreetly into the backpacks of children from kindergarten through 12th grade, including siblings at home, to help ensure they have enough to eat.

What volunteers do:
- Pack weekend food bags

❤️ Why Your Help Matters Even in a prosperous country, many children in our own community face food insecurity.
The Backpack Program is 100% volunteer-run and completely funded by private donations, which means your time and support directly help fill empty plates and hungry hearts.
Just one hour a month can make a HUGE impact. Together, we can ensure no child in Weakley County goes hungry.
