together

In 2012, a young student was seen climbing into a trash dumpster for food. The plight of many students in Florence and Mapleton was uncovered.

Concerned members of these communities banded together to volunteer time and energy to alleviate the problem. Food Backpack for Kids was born. It has grown ever since in both effectiveness & scope.

​As of 2024, we are distributing weekend food supplies during the school year to over 131 at-risk, food insecure students…quietly, effectively.
