Building Healthier Communities, One Backpack at a Time
Not everyone in our communities has access to nutritious food, including children. We recently gifted $2,500 to Benzie Area Christian Neighbors in support of its weekend meal program, which fills kids' backpacks with nourishing food for the days they aren't in school and may not have access to breakfast and lunch. Healthcare teams from Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital also volunteered to pack backpacks.
This donation is part of Munson's broader strategy to address food insecurity throughout the region. Over the past year, we've invested $104,000 in food access initiatives, with an additional $88,000 planned in the coming months. These efforts include support for Blessings in a Backpack programs, The Manna Food Project, Northmen Den, and several food pantries across the region.
