What volunteers do: Pack weekend food bags Support the wellbeing of local students Join a community of caring neighbors❤️ 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.
