Growing Up Blessings: Ashara
Meet Ashara, a living testament to the impact of our mission. As a former Blessings student turned Mission Ambassador, she understands the significance of our work at Blessings in a Backpack.
Growing up in a home with limited resources, Ashara experienced comfort in knowing she would recieve food from Blessings in a Backpack every Friday. Receiving weekend food support from school not only provided nourishment but also a sense of comfort and motivation through the heartfelt notes included in the bags.
Now a high school student, Ashara has taken it upon herself to pay it forward. As a Mission Ambassador for Blessings, she actively works within her community to ensure other kids receive the support she once did.
Blessings in a Backpack needs to raise $100,000 to help provide hunger-free weekends for kids nationwide. Will you help us reach our goal to feed kids? This Giving Tuesday, your life-changing gift may be DOUBLED as our National Board of Directors will match donations up to $50,000 to advance our effort to ensure all kids have hunger-free weekends.
