Student-led club at a Dearborn Heights high school provides food for students in need

When the federally funded lunch program came to an end for students at a Dearborn Heights high school, a student-run club stepped up to make a difference. All year long, the Backpack Pantry has been supplying food to students in need. The food is given away discreetly so students don't risk feeling embarrassed. "Once that program ended it really shined some light on just how reliant families were on the meals that were provided for schools," the club's mentor Tanisha Bolden said.
