Adopting a school close to your community is fairly simple. The most important requirement is that you are a parent, teacher, administrator or community member that recognizes how important it is that all of our neighbors’ children have the same opportunities for daily nutrition, which positively impacts educational success!
 
How can you begin the process of adopting a school?

1. Submit through our online request form for our “How To Get Started” program materials that will be mailed to your home.
2. Research K-5 Title 1 Schools on the Federal Free and Reduced Meal Utilization programs in your community. Select a school that you think will benefit most from this program.
3. Identify possible local supporters that can: 
        - Donate funds to buy the food at a discounted rate.
        - Volunteer to transport food to the school and help load the backpacks each week.
4. Call Blessings in a Backpack with this preliminary information, and we will create a simple program for you to administer utilizing your resources and ours.
5. Once you have a school started, all backpacks will be supplied by Blessings in a Backpack corporate headquarters through national public, private and corporate donors.
