The Mission:
To Eliminate Hunger in the Heartland by Ensuring Consistent
Access to Healthy Foods Through Community Partnerships.

The BackPack program is a partnership with local area schools that offer packs of weekend breakfast and lunches to children that have been identified as food insecure. Each week during the school year, 8,381 packs of easy-to-prepare or ready-to-eat nutritious foods are distributed to children in 253 schools in 112 school districts across Nebraska and western Iowa. These BackPacks provide children not only meals, but the opportunity to thrive in school, better reach developmental milestones, and be kids.

DRIVEN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Woodhouse Auto Family has been a proud supporter of the Food Bank BackPack Program for over 14 years and has contributed over $11 million to directly support the mental and physical health of children across Nebraska and western Iowa.

1 in 8 people-with 1 in 5 being children-are facing food insecurity across Nebraska and western Iowa. Your one-time gift can make an impact today. For every $1 donated, 96 cents stays in our community to provide healthy meals to children, families, seniors, and veterans.. The collective impact of your annual gifts makes a critical difference in our ability to provide meals to our neighbors in need.
