Backpack Project Update
At the September 17 meeting of the Rotary Club of Snow Hill, Club member
T.J. Myers provided an update on the Backpack Project. The goal of this
project is to provide easy-to-prepare food items for students who might
otherwise not have enough to eat on weekends. The Club is in the third
year of participation in this program.
Approximately
11% of all households in the United States deal with food insecurity.
That number increases in rural areas and in homes with children present.
Food collected at the meetings of the Club are delivered to the
recipient school each week.
