Join us for this adult only, fun filled night to support United Way of Mower County's Backpack Program. Children enrolled in the program receive a backpack filled with food to take home on weekends and holiday breaks. The food is designed to provide children who may rely on school for food with nutritious kid-friendly meals and snacks. Backpacks are discreetly given to children at the end of the week to take home. During the 2023-2024 school year, this program served over 800 students every week, totaling over 28,000 bags of food provided to students in Mower County.
