Backpack Program needs backers
The Agape House Backpack Program, which provides needy
children with basic food items for the weekend, is in jeopardy of
being reduced or eliminated.

request of a local elementary school principal.
By providing nutrition during the weekend, students return
to school Monday and are more attentive and ready to learn,
said Dave Hughes, director of Agape House.
Members of Faith Presbyterian Church and Altrusa
International of Hermiston help pack the food bags and take
them to the schools for distribution. A number of local groups,
businesses and individuals support the program.
However, more assistance is needed. The program costs
