God's Storehouse received $75,000 to buy a new refrigeration truck.
"The Wal-Mart employees will shop and pack the food and they will work with the schools to make sure that kids have food each Friday," said Jenny Scherer, a representative with Blessings With Backpacks.
"We'll be able to keep our foods cold, our meats, our different produce, that we'll be able to give out to the community," Aeika White, a representative with God's Storehouse, said, explaining how the truck will benefit the organization.
The grants come from the Walmart Foundation's State Giving Program.
