Blessings in a Backpack serves the more than 16 million children
across the United States who live with food insecurity. These
children are at higher risk of weakened immune systems and have
an increased rate of hospitalization while also struggling with
shortened attention spans and limited academic achievement. While
federal programs help these children to receive food at school,
Blessings in a Backpack steps in to make sure they are fed over
weekends and vacations as well.
Blessings in a Backpack depends on generous and intrepid
individuals to start and maintain programs in schools across the
country.
3. Those who take on the challenge receive guidance and
support from the organization to help them identify a school,
develop procedures with school leaders, and gather support
from the community. Blessings in a Backpack also advises
these leaders on securing a food vendor to supply the
program
The organization also counts on individuals and community
groups to secure the funds necessary to buy food for the
children that it serves. Just $100 can supply enough food for a
single child throughout the 38 weeks of the average school
year. More sizable opportunities are also available for
companies through the organizations' corporate partners
program, which provide sponsorship and workplace-giving
opportunities as well as channels for direct donation.
