Recently, the MRV Banks made a generous donation to the Backpacks for Friday program at Ste. Genevieve County R-II School District. The Backpacks for Friday program is an initiative that provides basic food staples to 50 needy families. This donation will help to fund the backpacks for the 2024-2025 school year.
Our school district partners with the Southeast Missouri Food Bank to organize the program, which is funded through donations from community organizations, local businesses and residents. These donations are a vital contribution, as these partnerships assist us in the fight against hunger here in our community.
We all know that when our students’ basic needs are met, they can focus on learning and growing into strong, productive, healthier citizens. If individuals, organizations or businesses would like to make a donation to the program, please make your tax deductible donation payable to “Care to Learn Ste. Genevieve” with “Backpacks for Friday Program” noted on the memo line.
Donations should then be sent to:
