What children had to say about Buddy Backpacks…
“It feeds me when I have no food.”
“My family does not have a lot of money so we can get other things when we don’t have to pay for this
food.”
“The program makes me feel HAPPY!”
“It helps us through the weekend so
I am not hungry.”
“Sometimes my family
doesn’t have a lot of food
so I can share with
them.”
