FRANKFORT, Ind. (March 16) – CORE Community Center has announced through a media release it has become a Backpack Program location for Clinton County after a recent conversation with Food Finders to address local food insecurity, the program will begin in July 2023.
Funding for this program comes from a recent grant approval for $70,000 from the Indiana Department of Health.
CORE is able to fill up to 51 backpacks each week beginning July 2023 providing meals to families throughout the community. In addition to the Backpack Program, CORE is exploring an east-side Mobile Food Bank as well as other long-term partnership opportunities.
“We couldn’t be more excited to continue to address evolving community needs. When we had to separate from the Summer Food Program, we were saddened to see that part of our services go. This is a much more manageable program for us to execute, and we know of many volunteers who look forward to making this possible,” shared Stephanie Cooper, Executive Director of CORE.
CORE Community Center is located at 950 S. Maish Rd., Frankfort.
