BackPack Program

REACH collaborates with the Great Plains Food Bank, North Country Food Bank, and Feeding America to provide nutritious support to children.

Children participating in the program receive kid-friendly, shelf-stable items such as cereal, soup, fruit, granola bars, and easy-to-prepare individual meals. It currently costs $8.00 to fill each backpack bag with these items. Monetary donations for the BackPack Program are greatly appreciated, as REACH can purchase food through the Great Plains Food Bank at a nominal cost.

* Please note that this year, forms will be available starting in August at the Hawley and Hendrum food pantries, and BackPack Bags may be picked up at each food pantry visit.

Clients must reside in Rural Clay or Norman County to receive services offered by REACH.

For more information, please contact the REACH office at 218-483-3145.
