Backpack Buddies in Minot sees surge in need
More Minot families are leaning on the Backpack Buddies program this year, a sign of how many children rely on weekend meals to stay nourished. What began a decade ago serving a single school has now grown to nearly 600 students, and demand keeps rising.

With a few dollars or a bit of time, residents can help ensure kids head into Monday ready to learn. Kyona Rivera with KMOT has the full story.
