Children need proper nutrition every day in order to properly grow, develop and learn. The Backpack Program provides food to children in need every Friday during the school year to keep them nourished over the weekend, so they can come back on Monday ready to learn!
We invite you to drop off nonperishable food items or monetary donations for the Okoboji, Spirit Lake, and Estherville Backpack Programs throughout November!
Northwest Bank will match donations up to $500 for each program!
