Backpack Buddies- Junior Auxiliary of Starkville
Serving Oktibbeha County
About
The Backpack Program by the Junior Auxiliary of Starkville provides weekend meals and fresh fruit to local school children in need. Members pack food into backpacks every Thursday so students have enough to eat over the weekend when school meals are not available. They also provide educational books, toys, and holiday gifts to support these children and their families.
