These kids are such a blessing! Our Castle program at Llano ISD is helping prep for bag packing every week! The kids love picking out the food and making it easier for the rest of the kids packing. Their smiles say it all!

Meet our volunteers! These high school students pack bags of food every Wednesday. They pack 200 bags every week! Some weeks it takes an hour, other weeks it takes longer. They fit volunteer work into their busy schedules. They have no clue the students who get the bags. We don’t have a name list only a count per campus. Campus counselors take care of distributing the bags. We would love to have your support in Adopt A Kid! https://givebutter.com/EteD8i

Wow! We had lots of shares from our post yesterday. We decided to add an online giving option. Adopt a kid, adopt a week, or give a set amount. The kids will appreciate your donation! https://givebutter.com/EteD8i You can also mail a check directly. We also had several questions about how to get kids in need signed up. Right now the only way to sign up is contacting your school’s counselor. Start by calling the front office of your student’s school.

November is a season of being thankful. What a better way to show mindfulness than supporting kids who need food in Llano ISD. Adopt a kid for a year, or the whole program for a week!

We are so thankful to the Llano Crawfish Open for their very generous donation to Llano Backpack Buddies! Your support will go far in making sure the students of Llano ISD are not hungry over the weekends and holidays.
