"Government after government has ignored the issue at hand, but we try to remove ourselves from that discussion because ultimately there are kids that are hungry and we're going to try to feed them."

Backpack Buddies, a Vancouver-grown program that provides food for hungry schoolchildren to eat over the weekend, is expanding to Victoria.

Emily-anne King, who co-founded the program with her mom in 2012, said five recipient schools had been identified so far and that deliveries would begin this school year.

“One of the biggest things we have planned for this school year is we are launching in Victoria” King said. “So we’ll be adding five recipient schools right out of the gate. We are seeking to grow that as much as we can in the coming months, as well as across Metro Vancouver.”

Backpack Buddies identifies schools that may have a need for their program, approaches them, and then are connected with a number of children who could use a food package to eat over the weekend. The food is placed inside a biodegradable bag that is zipped into the student’s backpack — usually by a community outreach worker — at the end of the last day before the weekend.

These Backpack Buddies were half-price, and I love Animal Crossing, so I picked one up. I got Porter. ...okay, he's cheerful, and I don't have anything against him. The figure is made nicely enough, and the paint job is decent. (Would I have preferred Isabelle? Well, yeah, but that’s the gamble you take with blind bags.)
