Freddy Ayala ’21 helps unload the backpacks and thousands of pounds of food needed for the Youth Service Bureau's NOURISH program.

The Nourish program provides food for 'food insecure' children in Montgomery County, where one in four kids can't be certain where their next meal will come from. Children in the program are given a backpack full of food every Friday after school to make sure they'll have plenty to eat during the weekend.

Professor Colin McKinney and his advisees wait for the food truck to arrive.

Professors Will Turner and McKinney help form a 'bucket brigade' to unload food from the truck.

'Many hands make light work'—or, at least, make heavy work go more quickly.

Nourish provides approximately 500 backpacks each weekend for children who are identified as food insecure. Each child receives food and snacks that will help feed them and their family for the days that they are out of school.

Wabash freshmen unload a semi-trailer load of food for the Nourish program.
