Recently, a guidance counselor at a partner elementary school relayed the story of a Micah’s Backpack participant searching in her backpack of weekend food to give some to a guest speaker from a foreign country. As the speaker described the hunger children felt in her homeland, the participant told her that she wanted to share her weekend food with other hungry children.
