Legionnaires make Back Pack donation

Oconee County School District’s “Back Pack” has received a shot in the arm from Walhalla American legionnaires. At their May meeting, the members of Post 124 presented a check for $5 thousand to foundation representative John Michael Powell. Post Commander Dave Mahn said the contribution will allow the program to provide back packs with child-friendly food for students to take home over weekends when they don’t have access to evening meals and free and reduced priced breakfasts and lunches at schools.
