Second Harvest Community Food Bank invites the public to the Backpack Buddies Spring Concert April 2 at Missouri Western.

Second Harvest is teaming up with the St. Joseph School District, Missouri Western State University, Central High School Show Choir, and the bands Under the Influence and Jazz Express to host the concert.

All proceeds will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank’s Backpack Buddies Program, which provides more than 1,000 backpacks filled with nutritious, child-friendly food for area schoolchildren to take home over the weekend.

When that program is not available over the weekend, many children go without food. This concert will bring together the Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas communities to help Backpack Buddies program feed children by sticking it to hunger with song.

The event will be held on Monday April 2nd at 7:00 p.m. at Missouri Western State University Fulkerson Center, 4525 Downs Dr., St. Joseph, MO.

Tickets are available to purchase from Second Harvest Food Bank, 915 Douglas St., Webster Learning Center, 1211 N. 18th St., Central High School, 2602 Edmond St., and the Wyatt Park Christian Church, 2623 Mitchell St.

Seating is limited to 200.
