(Sponsors and donations are needed)….It is for the Weekend Backpack Program.

The Imperial Valley Food Bank developed the program to ensure low-income children have some food over the weekend. Participating students from participating schools are given a backpack full of food items every Friday at the end of the school day. There are currently about 700-signed participants. Many more should be signed up. The program this year will start on the second weekend of September. Food and monetary donations to the Food Bank are needed to ensure more backpacks are filled so more kids do not go hungry over the weekends.
