Wheat Ridge Police Chief Dan Brennan spoke at our January 12th meeting about the backpack food program he is involved with to help feed low income students at Pennington Elementary. Each student/family who signs up to participate in the program will receive food to feed the family over the weekend. The students in need are identified by school officials. The police department, Wheat Ridge Optimists, and Wheat Ridge Rotary are joining forces to bring this popular area program to Pennington students before launching it in the other 3 schools. Food distribution is coordinated through the Arvada Food Bank and will be brought to the school on a weekly basis by volunteers from the community. We are asking businesses to help in one of two ways: donate money for the program or volunteer. Several E WR members have already donated money or offered to volunteer. If you would like to participate. Please contact Loretta lorettadschwankl@comcast.net
