Starfish Pack Program celebrates 3 years
A program that provides children a backpack full of food celebrated it’s third year of success.
The Starfish Pack Program supports 90 school children in the Greater Vernon area.
The children receive three meals a day, fresh fruit, and some snacks to ensure that they don’t go hungry over the weekend.
The program was started in 2016 as a way to address food insecurity in the region and was started in partnership with Save-On- Foods, Kalamalka Rotary, School District 22 and the Okanagan Boys and Girls club.
