Because we are all volunteers, the full amount of your donation goes directly into helping local children. Donations are used to create Buddy Bags! Buddy Bags are child-friendly sacks of food delivered to local schools and distributed to children to help offset hunger on the weekends. All of our funding goes to helping children in Northwest Indiana fight food-insecurity and hunger.
