N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Community Action Region VI in Jamestown does many things from providing food to the hungry, stocking their Daily Bread Program in Jamestown Schools for children who don’t have enough to eat and their Backpacks for Kids Program.

Established in 2009, the Backpack for Kids Program is an anonymous program that ensures any child can receive a backpack to supplement their diets over the weekend. Food Pantry Coordinator Sarah Oberlander stated that the program went through roughly 40 to 50 backpacks in their first year of the program and since then, it’s been growing.

Oberlander pointed out that it costs roughly $15 to pack every backpack that’s given out through the anonymous program. To help with the project, the Jamestown HOGS Chapter 1955 will be hosting a Bike for Kids event on Sunday, July 26th. For more details, you can call 701-252-1821.
