Mishawaka’s Cultural Engagement Committee helped pack 981 meals for the Kid’s Weekend Backpack Program.

Many kids in schools struggle to eat between school lunch on Friday and breakfast on Monday. Cultivate Food Rescue takes rescued food and turns it into nutritious frozen meals that are delivered directly to kids in need. Meals are delivered to schools where they are sent home with food-insecure children to fill that 68-hour gap. These kids return to school on Monday ready to focus on learning because the basic need of food has been taken care of!
