The Sanford Backpack Program Inspires Maine
When it comes to struggles with food insecurities, Maine children need our help more than ever. According to SanfordStrong.org, one out of every four children in the state of Maine lacks access to the food they need on a daily basis.
When in school most of these children are able to qualify for Maine supplemental food benefits, either for free or at a reduced amount however, once the end of the week rolls around, the weekend can be sparse for many children when it comes to getting the food they need.
This is where the Sanford Backpack Program steps in. The Sanford Backpack Program makes sure that these at need children leave school with a backpack full of meals that are easy to prepare and are also nutritious.
SANFORD, Michigan (WNEM) Building back Sanford. That’s what one small group of people are trying to achieve this year. The community is working to line the streets with vendors and it’s all part of a bigger picture.
“So, I posted a post on Sanford Strong and had no idea what was going to happen,” said Jeri Hodge.
Hodge, a former bakery and restaurant owner, has a passion for baking and giving back. Another passion of hers? Building back Sanford. But she won’t be doing it alone.
“We just have a good team to pull this together,” Hodge said.
