Chesterbrook Academy in Cary Donates to Inter-Faith Food Shuttle

Summer campers held a food drive for Backpack Buddies, an Inter-Faith Food Shuttle program that provides children in need with weekend meals

Summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Cary recently held a food drive in partnership with Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to give back in the community. Students collected more than 25 bags of nonperishable food items, which Inter-Faith Food Shuttle will use to fill backpacks for its Backpack Buddies program. The backpacks will provide children from low-income households with nutritious, child-friendly groceries for the weekend, when school lunches and breakfasts are not provided. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping children in need in their community.
