Since Sunday, $465,000 was donated by 16,885 #BillsMafia fans in honor of Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Jackson left the game with a concussion in the second half of the 17-3 loss to the Bills. After the game, Buffalo fans on a Reddit message board began a push for donations to Jackson’s favorite charity — Blessings in a Backpack.
Millions of children are fed during the school week by federal government programs. We want to make sure they’re getting nutritional meals over the weekend, too. As little as $130 will feed one child on the weekends for one 38-week school year through the Blessings in a Backpack program!
Did you know that we have more than 1,000 programs in nearly every state, including the Buffalo and Kansas City areas? There’s a good chance we have a Blessings in a Backpack program near you!
Your generosity today will help Blessings in a Backpack provide hunger-free weekends for thousands of food-insecure kids across America who might otherwise go hungry. Who will feed the kids this weekend? You are!
