BOCO Back Packs
In 2010 a community based volunteer group, partnered with TLC to envision and develop a supplemental food program to supply food to Boundary County's children during the school years 3 day weekend. This partnership became BoCo Backpacks and continues to distribute backpacks filled with easy to serve, nutrition food to pre-school through the grade children in our School District. BoCo volunteers ensure that back packs are available at each location, and are distributed each week of the school year. We are currently reaching over 140 children across our county.
Grow
Trinity has made part of their land available for this project. The community Garden is right behind TLC. All the members of GROW and others who work in the garden are volunteers except the Garden Manager. They have provided many hundreds of hours to this program. GROW sells garden plots to community members and grows much of its food for the local Food Bank and Farmers Market. In the future they are hoping to grow food year round. Come and learn how you can help with this project.
