Buy a Backpack Buddy to Help Students in Need

Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and Sendik’s Food Markets recently launched their ninth Annual Backpack Buddies program.

For $10, Sendik's customers get two little clip-on animal friends. The money helps Feeding America of Eastern Wisconsin to provide kindergarten through third-grade children in need with a backpack full of school supplies, including notebooks, folders, paper, markers, crayons, pens and more.

Backpack Buddies are available at Balistreri-owned and -operated Sendik’s stores through September 3. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and Sendik’s Food Markets have distributed nearly 6,000 backpacks since 2008.
