Project Change - Event Two: Places
Benefiting: Harvesters
 

BRR has really enjoyed this month. For our “Places” activity we volunteered at the Harvesters Volunteer Center packing backpacks full of food for kids to eat over the weekend. The Backsnack program was started because children who are on the reduced or free lunch program at school are then going hungry on the weekends. This program started with just a handful of kids, now this year they are planning on feeding 10,000 kids. It just keeps growing! Teachers and parents report improved grades and behavior. BRR is very proud to help tackle the fight against childhood hunger. We had 6 volunteers on March 16th and packed over 650 meals. We have 12 volunteers signed up for next Tuesday, March 30th and our goal is to pack 1500 meals on that day. We forgot our camera the first time, so I have attached one picture we got with a cell phone. I can send you more after our Volunteer time this coming Tuesday.
