Mardi Gras for a Cause, Fat Tuesday February 17th. This great event supports Backpack Snack Attack. Food and drink specials to start at 6pm and live music to start at 7pm. Check out mardigrasforacause.com for a list of participating establishments. Backpack Snack Attack is an outreach program of the Warwick Reformed Church that provides weekend meals to nearly 250 children across the Warwick, Greenwood Lake, and Florida school districts. Founded in 2009, the program ensures that food insecure children have access to nutritious, kid-friendly food when school meals are not available. Each child receives a backpack filled with individually sized, ready-to-eat food items, which can be shared with their siblings. Backpack Snack Attack is powered by dedicated volunteers and made possible through fundraising, donations, and grants. Together, we help ensure that no child goes hungry over the weekend.
