Coal City’s Backpack Program has been providing assistance to Unit 1 School District families for several years, and for the past seven years it has been overseen by three local women with a common goal of providing supplemental sustenance to students.
The mission of the organization is, “to help children in need begin each school week with a full heart and nourished body so they can grow in mind, body and spirit.”
Working together and with support from donors and volunteers, the group has been able to provide bags of food to students each week of the school year.
