Everyone has a place to belong and something meaningful to be part of.

Buddy Bags
Bunker Hill, Indiana
Feeding the children of
Maconaquah Elementary Schools
Hunger isn’t just a problem far away — it exists right here in our own community.
For some children, the meals they receive at school are the only reliable food they have during the week. Buddy Bags helps fill the gap by providing simple, nutritious food for weekends.
We partner with McGrawsville Community Church, Maconaquah School Corporation, and local volunteers to provide weekly bags of food for students at Pipe Creek Elementary and Maconaquah Elementary. Children who qualify for free or reduced lunch can receive a Buddy Bag each Friday throughout the school year (Kindergarten–5th grade).
It costs about $140 to provide weekend meals for one child for an entire school year.
Every bag makes a difference.
