The skinny on this event is as follows: I would like for all of you that can afford it to donate something. For every item you donate I will match it with $1 from Jumpin’ Jonny’s. There is a full list of items you can donate List of items to donate. Between your donation and our contribution we can make a real difference with this group.

The BackPack Buddies Program provides children from food-insecure homes with weekend meals during the school year. Local corporations, civic groups, and individuals help collect and pack bags with kid-friendly non-perishable food. The children receive a backpack containing six balanced meals and two healthy snacks at the end of every week. The children are served in partnership with school principals, guidance counselors, and various after school programs. Read testimonial here!
