Programs Provide Low-Income Students with Food for Weekends
9/14/2007

A September 13, 2007 article from USA Today reports on programs that provide students from low-income families with food for the weekends. Two programs highlighted in the article provide students from qualifying families with backpacks full of nutritious snacks and food items before they go home each Friday. Funding for the programs comes from a variety of sources, including civic groups, churches, national and local retailers, and individuals.

The article is available at the USA Today Web site.
