HARRISBURG, Ill. (WSIL) -- A new initiative is set to launch at Heaven's Kitchen to support local families in need. The Heaven's Kitchen Kids Backpack Food Program will begin this Tuesday, offering a new food resource for children.

The program will provide families visiting the Food Pantry with a bag of kid-friendly food for each child in the household. These bags will include snacks, drinks, and other items to assist families between pantry visits.

Despite the program's name, no backpacks will be handed out. Instead, the focus is on providing a week's worth of food for children in a convenient package.

The distribution will take place every Tuesday from 5 to 6 p.m. at Heaven’s Kitchen located at 21 West Locust Street in Harrisburg. Organizers are eager to expand their efforts in feedin
