(KAIR)--Funding cuts, rising costs, and other factors, has led to the call for community assistance for Atchison County students at risk of food insecurity.
That comes as both Atchison's USD 409 and Atchison County's USD 377 both face the lack of funding needed to take part in the so-called Backpack Buddies Program.
Kim Bottoroff, Salvation Army of Atchison County Coordinator, is leading the charge to see funding secured through community giving, bringing that message Wednesday to the 93.7 FM Morning Petting Zoo.
