“My name is Sam and I am 8 years old. Sometimes my parents don’t have enough money for food because they have to pay the rent. Every Friday I get a backpack full of food to take home for the weekend that is filled with 6 yummy meals. My parents are grateful for the Aloha BackPack Buddies program, because they know I won’t miss a meal.”
