Feeding Kids. Filling Hearts. Fueling Hope.

Imagine being a child and not knowing when you’ll eat next. For too many kids in our community, this isn’t just a fear—it’s their reality. Many rely on school for their only meals during the week, but what happens when the weekend comes?

That’s where Kate McGwire’s Backpack Buddies steps in. Each Friday, The Idaho Foodbank provides school-aged children in need with a backpack filled with 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, and 2 snacks—enough food to get them through the weekend with full bellies and peace of mind.

I am a self-proclaimed ambassador of this program because the thought of a child going to bed hungry is honestly incomprehensible. How can that happen in the United States?? No one—especially not a child—should ever have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Together, we can change that.

Your donation will go directly toward purchasing food and filling backpacks with love and nourishment. Every dollar counts. Every meal matters. Every child deserves to feel full, safe, and cared for.

Let’s show these kids that their community has their back. 💛
