Food Bank of Iowa “The first Weekend Backpack delivery went wonderful! The kids were ELATED! Yesterday when I came to school, 5 of my ‘frequent flyers’ who came to see me with headaches or tummy aches never came (all were part of the BackPack Program™). I did have kids come to my office for a different reason … to tell me about their weekend and how they loved the food.” – BackPack Program™ school nurse

Food Bank of Iowa “It made a HUGE difference in the way they came to school Monday. They were happy and ready to learn. IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING! I wish I could put into words what I saw … it is a pale sullen face coming into the school building on Monday changed into a smiling face with a sparkling eye. Literally, it is giving a child, ‘Hope’!” – BackPack Program™ site coordinator
