Farm Bureau Backpack Packaging Program
The Belmont County Farm Bureau is looking for volunteers for the School Backpack Program Packaging Event two days next weekend.
The program will take place, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 21-22, at the Ickes Family Life Center at 67880 Friends Church Rd., St. Clairsville.
The event is a meal packing program that provides non-perishable food for needy students to take home each weekend and during school breaks.
Initiated seven years ago, the program now serves over 660 students across all Belmont County school districts except Martins Ferry.
The program relies on volunteers for packing events and receives funding from community donations, the county, and Job and Family Services.
Individuals and groups are welcome to volunteer for the event for one day or both. .
