Hunger doesn’t take the weekend off for local families in need, and Milton School District Social Worker Sherry Rautenberg says the “Weekend Backpack Program” helps. Rautenberg says although students are fed weekdays through the school breakfast and lunch programs, a void exists on the weekends. She says thanks to funding by Charter NEX Films in Milton, the program will continue through the school year. The program, founded by the One Apple Lunch Bunch at the Milton United Methodist Church, also receives support from Cargill Nutrition and other local grants and sponsors.
