The Purchase Area Development District (PADD) serves as the region’s food bank supporting a network of organizations that distribute food and non-food products to underprivileged individuals and families. One of the most successful efforts in the fight against hunger is the PADD’s partnership with Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland linking their Backpack Program to school districts in our region. It provides children with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods to eat on weekends when school food isn’t available. Teachers and family resource coordinators identify children in need, and a bag of easy-to- prepare food items is placed discreetly in the child’s backpack at the end of each week. Currently, the Feeding America Backpack program serves 148 children in 9 schools within Mayfield and Graves County.
