An energetic group of Brookings Rotarians spent time at the United Way center this week packing food items for the Brookings Packpack Project. The backpacks are sent home Fridays with area school children who are at risk of weekend food insecurity. The Brookings Backpack Project assists hungry youth in Brookings, Volga and Elkton with easy to prepare weekend meals and snacks all year round. By helping to sustain these children, BBP seeks not only to help meet their nutritional needs but also to promote their physical, cognitive and social development and to enhance their overall sense of well-being. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service!
