Careers and Internships
Current Openings:
At Blessings in a Backpack, we believe that every school-aged child in America should have the nourishment needed to learn and grow. As a leader in the movement to end childhood hunger, Blessings in a Backpack strives to ensure children do not go hungry on the weekends by empowering individuals and communities to take action. Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.
As one 501(c)(3) organization, our staff is located across the country and works in a variety of roles and departments, including programming, fund development, marketing, food solutions, and accounting and analytics. We are looking for individuals who are interested in building their careers around ensuring kids facing food insecurity have access to satisfying, nutritional weekend nutrition.
The Blessings teams offers diverse work styles and experiences, and all team members strive to EMPOWER all those around us; VALUE our heritage, while ENCOURAGING growth and diversity; and always SUPPORT and RESPECT all relationships with open communication.
