So that Food Insecure Children Have Full Tummies over Weekends and School Holidays
One Friday afternoon, a fourth grader in rural Yates County boarded his school bus for the ride home, a
backpack slung over each shoulder. One pack held his books and homework; the other was stuffed with
small boxes of raisins, cups of applesauce, packets of oatmeal, packaged tuna and chicken, peanut
butter, and easy-to-open, microwave-ready soup.
Earlier that week, volunteers from Milly’s Pantry, a nonprofit organization that works with Foodlink and
Feeding America which supplies emergency food to school children and their
families, filled more than 500 backpacks, some in a church hall and others in a village youth center. The
backpacks were delivered to two school districts, some 20 miles apart.
