This is a fund-raiser for the Madison County Backpack Program which began in 2008 in partnership with teachers, parents and church groups to address the hunger problem. Children in need are confidentially identified by their teachers, and receive a returnable backpack filled with useful foods such as ravioli, soups, fruit snacks, chips, cereal, popcorn, and other snacks for the weekend. The Madison County Backpack Program serves 19 schools with approximately 1750 backpacks full of easy to prepare food each month.
