Do you know about the Kids Backpack Program?
THIS SUMMER, all kids in our service area can get a weeks worth of food (including snacks). Pick up is Mon. & Tues. Noon-2 p.m. and Mondays from 6-7 p.m.
This is a similar program that is offered at ADM and Van Meter Schools during the school year when kids pre-K through 12th grade can get a backpack full of food for the weekends. (Look for information from the school to sign up for Weekend Backpack during the school year.)
There are no income guidelines, but we recommend calling ahead to ensure we have enough packs to distribute.
Call (515) 478-3760 to request a pack or for more information.
