Social Ministry Committee packs bags for Operation: BackPack |
Operation:Backpack
A program of the Hawkeye Area Community Action
Program - HACAP
1 in 4 children in our community are food insecure, meaning they are
unable to access enough food on a daily basis, and generally don't know where
their next meal is coming from. Each Friday, local schools send a bag of
single-serve food items home in the backpacks of hungry children so that they
may be fed over the weekend.
With the help of schools, volunteers, and community
partners like, HACAP is able to feed hundreds of children in our community.
Operation: BackPack operates in 53 schools throughout a six-county service
area (Linn, Johnson, Jones, Iowa, Benton, and Washington).
