Pounding Out Hunger

Join me in an effort to fight hunger! In 2006 we raised over $300. Again in 2007, I pledge to donate $3 for each pound I catch during the 2007 Bassmaster Central Open Season to the Lincoln Foodbank/ Lincoln Public Schools BackPack Program. You can help by making a pledge or donating!

Current Weight - 14.63lbs.

BackPack Program
  
The Food Bank/LPS BackPack Program debuted during the 2004-2005 school year at Clinton School, Sending home food-filled backpacks on Friday afternoons with 50 kids. The 2005-2006 school year had 50 students participating at each of three schools; Clinton, Everett and McPhee.

During the 06-07 School year, we are distributing 500 backpacks a week to our partner schools, Clinton, Elliott, McPhee, Everett, Hartley, West Lincoln, Belmont and Hawthorne. We have also started a BackPack Program of 10 students in Milford, and have a commitment for 25 students next school year in Seward. The need is great. Many of our community's children rely on the Lincoln Public Schools lunchroom for their most nutritious meal of the day. In some cases, the school breakfast or lunch is the only meal a child receives. Census figures reveal there are 6,500 children under the age of 18 living below the poverty line in Lancaster County. This school year, 4,551 students are participating in the LPS free lunch program.

The food we use for the Food Bank / LPS BackPack Program consists of donated and purchased food, to ensure a consistent supply of peanut butter and jelly, concentrated fruit juice, individual boxes of cereal, macaroni and cheese, canned fruits and vegetables along with fresh fruit, and monthly vouchers for a gallon of milk.

Join the Food Bank and Lincoln Public Schools in our efforts to feed hungry children and their families.

BackPack Program wish list: 18 ounce Grape Jelly, 7.25 ounce Macaroni and Cheese, 26 ounce spaghetti in tomato/cheese sauce (canned) 11.5 ounce Welch's Juice concentrate (non frozen or refrigerated), 10 packs of Kellogg's Variety Pack Cereal, 15 oz cans of Fruits and Vegetables.
