Since 1996, the Feeding America BackPack Program has been helping children get the nutritious and easy-to-prepare food they need over the course of the weekend.
September is Hunger Action Month. Food insecurity had reached its highest rate in over a decade with 47 million people facing hunger including 14 million children. Here in Northern Indiana, 111,110 (15%) neighbors including 34,000 (18.8%) children - these neighbors don't have enough food and don't know where their next meal will come from. The neighbors who need food assistance look like any of us.
