Hello Backpack Program Friends,
There are way too many children who don’t have food at home over weekends and holidays. The Food Bank of the Southern Tier’s Backpack Program helps these children by providing food over weekends and holidays during the school year.

We told you about “Giving is Gorges” last Friday and that we were looking to feed 100 kids here in Tompkins County and you heard it and the Food Bank recieved over $21,000.00!!

Thank you for caring about the children!!

Chris
