MILWAUKEE -- Hundreds of MPS kids at Pierce Elementary get to start the school year on the right foot thanks to people buying those Backpack Buddies from Balistreri-owned Sendik’s and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.

Proceeds from sales of 4,000 Backpack Buddies went toward about 700 new backpacks filled with school supplies that’ll be distributed to MPS students.
