The Penny Lane Legacy Fund group will fund the Penny Lane Pack program for the coming school year.

The program is for children and youths in Summerland who need more food at home. Each student is given a backpack at the end of the week, providing two days worth of food and small treats for the weekend. There is enough to share some with the family.

The Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre will continue to partner with the Penny Lane Legacy Fund to coordinate the purchasing, packing and delivering of the backpacks on Fridays for students to take home.

Both groups believe that the Penny Lane Pack program is such a wonderful way to support our families who are in need of some short-term additional assistance.

The program was launched in 2018 and has operated since that time.

Those who have a child or youth attending school in Summerland for this year and wish to register for the program are asked to contact the principal of their school or the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre.
