Potosi, Mo. (KFMO) - The Potosi Elks Lodge Backpack School Food progam is growing.
A member of the lodge, Randy Eaton, says if it weren't for volunteer and donation support, the Elks lodge would not be able to help hungry students in the community.
The food is intended for underprivelaged children who may not have enough food for one meal a day.
According to Eaton, this week they packed food for 407 kids and sometimes they reach a total of 415. They ended the last school year with 350 a week being packed.
