Operation Backpack, our local America's Second Harvest backpack program, is underway with a pilot effort at Polk Elementary School in Cedar Rapids.
Backpacks filled with non-perishable food started going home with 50 children in April. This pilot effort is scheduled to run seven weeks.
More schools are interested in signing up for this local iniatitive to reduce hunger in eastern Iowa, but we need additional funds to sustain and expand this effort. So please join Coe, KCRG and Oprah’s Big Give in giving to Operation BackPack.
