BCTCares Foundation's Initiative to Alleviate Child Hunger
BCTCares Foundation Launches Annual "Pack the 'Pack" Campaign
BCTCares Foundation, an esteemed nonprofit created by BCT-Bank, is excited to announce the commencement of its annual fundraising initiative, "Pack the 'Pack." The campaign aims to raise an impressive $100,000 to support local backpack food programs designed to alleviate childhood food insecurity. This year's objective will help provide meals for over 6,000 children during summer vacations and school weekends throughout the upcoming school year.
Importance of the Campaign
Initiated in 2019, the Pack the 'Pack campaign emerged as a response to the troubling discovery that many local children regularly faced food shortages. This initiative has become increasingly necessary, particularly against the backdrop of rising food prices. Each year, the campaign has not only met its objectives but has exceeded them, thanks to the unwavering support of community members, clients, and employees.
Leadership Commitment
Alice Frazier, the President and CEO of BCT, emphasized the growing need for this initiative, stating, "The demand for food assistance has surged due to recent economic trends. Our goal of raising $100,000 this year is ambitious, yet I am confident in our community's ability to support us in this endeavor."
Partnerships with Local Charities
To make the most significant impact, BCTCares Foundation collaborates with four local charities specializing in backpack food programs. These organizations have been critical partners since the inception of Pack the 'Pack. Through their efforts, donated funds are utilized to procure and distribute food to those in need.
Featured Partner Organizations
The four partner organizations include:
- Berkeley County Backpack Program
- Community Combined Ministries – Kidz Power Pacs
- HARC/Micah's Backpack
- Fueled (formerly Loudoun Backpack Coalition)
How to Contribute
Contributions to the Pack the 'Pack campaign can be made directly at any BCT branch or through the bank's online platform. The campaign runs from July through August, and local residents are encouraged to participate generously in supporting this vital cause.
