For our third project, Team Generation Gap paired up with Backpacks for Hunger to provide food to children. This is an organization that provides school-age children in need with backpacks of food for the weekend. They can pick up their backpack from school on Friday and must return it Monday for it to be filled for the next weekend. This program was started about a year ago and has seen major improvements in the students they serve. The students on this program have demonstrated improved school attendance, improved grades, decreased expulsions and an overall uplifted spirit! It's amazing what energy from food, responsibility for their backpack and a feeling that people care about them has done for these kids and their schools!

Generation Gap was proud to fill 700 backpacks for these kids! Backpacks for Hunger is a very well run organization that was prepared to put us right to work. We chipped in, had a great time and felt great about what we accomplished. And that is a beautiful THING!
