2025's Charity: Blessings In A Backpack
Who will feed the kids this weekend?
ONE in FIVE kids relies on their school’s free and reduced-price meal program to provide the nourishment they need to learn and grow. But what happens when the kids leave school on Friday? Join us in making a positive impact to prevent weekend hunger.
How They Help
Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-aged children across America who might otherwise go hungry. https://youtu.be/JSslkjn-qyk?si=Ay_DTIrFtsMQm5mt
Our Impact
Over the years, we have impacted the lives of thousands of children through our various programs. We have seen children who were once malnourished and sick, now healthy and thriving in school. We are proud of the positive impact we have made in their lives.
