On Saturday night in the banquet hall of the Swanton Sports Center, a “Name That Tune” event was held as a fundraiser for the Swanton Local Schools Backpack Buddies Program. The event was put together by a large group of volunteers and their efforts were rewarded with a record attendance.
Backpack Buddies is a community-based initiative designed to combat childhood hunger by supplying children with food and essential items when school meals are unavailable, such as over weekends or during school breaks. The program targets children who rely on school meal programs during the week, ensuring they do not hungry outside of school hours. By providing consistent access to food, the program supports better academic performance, health outcomes, and overall well-being for children and families in need.
