Can you imagine what it would be like to go to bed hungry?

There are children everyday that go without food. The Student Council in Shallowater High School would like to take action and make sure children in their community are fed throughout the weekends.

The Backpack Buddy program targets Elementary, Intermediate and Middle school children who are fed primarily in the school lunchroom Monday through Friday, but who go hungry on the weekends at home.

Each week, Student Council and volunteers stuff backpacks of food to be distributed to the Elementary, Intermediate and Middle school. The children identified as being potentially at high risk from being in food insecure homes will receive these backpacks on Friday afternoon for the weekend.
