Minocqua, WI — IncredibleBank, in partnership with Lakeland Pantry, is launching a community campaign to support families facing food insecurity through the “Hope In A Backpack” program. Now through August 31, donations can be made at any IncredibleBank location, and IncredibleBank will match contributions up to $2,500.

Food insecurity continues to affect children and families across our region. “Hope In A Backpack” helps ensure students who rely on school meals during the week also have nutritious food for the weekend. Each week, students at local schools—including AVW, Lac Du Flambeau, MHLT, North Lakeland, and Lakeland Union High School—receive discreetly packed backpacks filled with healthy, easy-to-prepare foods to help fill the gap when school meals are unavailable.

Now through August 31, donate to “Hope In A Backpack” at any IncredibleBank location, and IncredibleBank will match donations up to $2,500. Donations can also be made by scanning the attached QR code.

By matching every donated dollar, IncredibleBank will help double the community’s impact and directly support the purchase of food and supplies for families in need.

Lorna Springate Lakeland Pantry Director added, “Community support is truly powerful. By working together, we can make a meaningful difference for children and families who need it most. We invite everyone to take part in this campaign, knowing every donation will be matched and used to provide nourishing meals.”

“Hope In A Backpack” provides weekend food for local children, helping reduce hunger and support student well-being throughout the school year. The program is supported by Lakeland Pantry, Ascension Lutheran Church, Calvary Lutheran Church, and the Lakeland Area General Federation of Women’s Clubs.

It’s all about “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” Please donate today.
