Backpack program feeds Elyria students through donations
Four area schools report over 70 percent free lunch enrollment with two above 40 percent. Second Harvest and the Boys and Girls Club sparked a backpack program funded by a $3,000 supplier grant and a $20,000 Wal Mart corporate grant. Giants Eagle donated $1,000 and backpacks cost about $3 to fill. Volunteers pack 200 plus backpacks each Thursday at St. Stanislaus Church Lorain. Students return bags Mondays with “No backpack, no food” policy. Chase Morefield cites anonymity as key to reducing stigma. About 40 percent of Second Harvest's Lorain County recipients are children.
