We're a ministry of The Lakes Church in Waupaca, Wisconsin, on a mission to eliminate hunger in local schools. Founded in 2010, our program has grown to support over 280 students every week. Working closely with area schools, we identify students in need of food support. Through generous donations, we purchase groceries and pack them for distribution. School staff place the bags of food into stude
nts' backpacks, ensuring they have enough to eat over the weekend. Here's how you can get involved:
• Donate: Your contributions directly support our efforts. Make a financial contribution or donate online at thelakeswaupaca.com/give (select "Project Backpack").
• Volunteer: Join our dedicated team of over 100 volunteers. Help pack groceries, label items, or deliver food to schools. Contact Cathy Iverson at 859-940-5904 or Tina Brunner at 920-867-4764.
• Spread the Word: Share our mission and the impact we're making. Raise awareness about childhood hunger in our community. Together, we can end childhood hunger one student at a time. Join us in providing nourishment and hope for a brighter future.
