Last week, we had the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible volunteers who make Backpack Buddies in Liberty and Long counties possible.

Through Backpack Buddies, students receive bags filled with nutritious, shelf-stable, kid-friendly food to take home each weekend because hunger doesn’t take a break over the weekend.

We are also deeply grateful for our partnerships with Fort Stewart, Liberty County School System, and Long County Schools, whose collaboration and support help us reach students and families throughout our communities.

Thank you to every packer, pantry worker, driver, and volunteer who helped make this year’s program a success. Your dedication is helping ensure local students have access to the food they need to thrive. 💙🎒

With just over a month left in our 2026 Community Fund campaign, we reached an exciting milestone last week: 90% of our $5.2 million goal has been raised.

The Community Fund powers support for more than 50 nonprofit partners across the Coastal Empire and helps sustain programs like our 211 Information and Referral Service and Read United. Every gift helps strengthen opportunities for individuals and families across our region.
