Walmart is donating 3-million dollars to 50 food banks around the country. Click here to vote for Channel One!  They plan to use the money for the Backpack Program. The Backpack Program currently serves over 1,200 children in 21 schools within Olmsted County. 1 in 3 children in Rochester Public Schools are on free or reduced price meal plans. Of the 100,000+ people they serve, over 40% are children. Their goal is to continue to provide the food for the Backpack Program free of charge to our local organizations for distribution in the Olmsted County public schools.
