Their need resonated so loudly with our employees and customers that the campaign grew well beyond our hopes.  I am very proud of our customers, employees, and local communities for rallying together to raise over two times our original goal. Thousands of local children will be fed because we joined together as neighbors in a fight to end food-insecurity in our local communities.\" \nBCTCares partnered with local backpack program charities for this campaign.  These partners will purchase and distribute food to local school children using the funds donated, filling over 8,600 backpacks with food.  The local backpack program partners are:\nBerkeley County Backpack Program  (Berkeley County, WV) - http://feedbcwvkids.org/  Community Combined Ministries – Kidz Power Pacs  (Jefferson County, WV) - https://communitycombined.org/ HARC/...
