LAONA – The Wabeno Lions Club recently donated $400 to Laona High School’s Backpacks to Go program, which provides students with nutritious meals and snacks to take home for the weekend at no cost.

The school’s National Honor Society organizes the program and helps keep it running smoothly. Each Friday, backpacks are filled with food and placed in participating students’ lockers to take home.

The Lions’ donation will help support the program’s efforts to provide students with food beyond the school week.
