For many reasons, it can sometimes be difficult to feed our children. The WEB program goal is to provide students with
nutritious, easy to prepare food for the weekends during the school year. This effort is a partnership of the Langlade Health
Coalition, the Unified School District of Antigo, Langlade County Health Department, and the Antigo Community Food Pantry.
Eligibility:
Any Unified School District of Antigo student (grades 4K-12) and their family are eligible for a “backpack”. Please complete the
enrollment form above and return to the school office or classroom teacher by September 24 in order to start the first week of
October.

Another great example of the partnership between Antigo High School and the Antigo Community. Our very own Cabinetry 3 class crafted a shelving structure to help store the food products used for the WEB Backpack Program.

About WEB

The WeekEnd Backpack (WEB) Program sustains Antigo's future through nutritional support and education. From October to May, backpacks are prepared weekly and sent home through Antigo area schools. They contain easy-to-prepare food, and nutritional information such as recipes, for children and families. Applications are available through school secretaries and guidance counselors. About 400 volunteers help this program work, from packing, transporting, and hanging up backpacks to fundraising and coordinating work. It costs $160 per child per school year to fund WEB. If you are interested in volunteering or making a financial contribution please contact Sarah Olafson at sarah.olafson@aspirus.org.

Thank you to our AMS Service Club members Alex, Elyse, Aylah, Brynn, and Aiden (not pictured). Our students still took the time out of their Snow Day to come pack over 300 bags for WEB Backpacks!
