HELENA â About one in seven people in the Helena area face hunger or food insecurity, but Helena Food Share officials believe that number is even higher among area children. The Food Shareâs Kid Packs program aims to address that issue, and help keep kids fed.
Kid Packs contain healthy, kid-friendly food and drinks, enough to help kids at risk of hunger get through the weekend.
âItâs so incredibly important, itâs life-changing for these kids,â Bryant Elementary School principal Trish Klock said. âThey donât have to worry about getting food.â
