For 66 hours every weekend many children are hungry. Back the Pack is an organization of volunteers who provide healthy snacks to all of Massena’s elementary school children in need when school lunches are not available. All money raised for this project comes from private donations and fundraisers.

If you wish to help in our efforts, please feel free to attend our organizational meeting for the 2012-13 school year at 10:15 this morning at the Arrow Building on East Orvis Street.

New members are always welcome. You may also call Julie Paquin at 769-7688 if you are unable to attend or donate to Back the Pack, PO Box 16, Massena. We have no administrative costs. All money goes directly to feeding our children.
