Monthly Giving

Your monthly commitment can make a difference in the life of a child. We believe that no child should have to face a weekend – 65 hours – not knowing when he or she will eat next. Your monthly donation will help fill that gap for a child so he or she can return to school each Monday, ready to learn and grow.

A monthly gift is an easy and flexible way for you to support Blessings in a Backpack. For only $8.33 per month ($100 per year), you can feed one child for one 38-weekend school year.

Upon making your first monthly gift, you will receive a letter from Blessings outlining your donation. At the end of the calendar year, we will send you a year-end giving summary letter for tax receipt purposes.

To become a monthly donor, simply select “Reoccurring Gift” on the online donation form. You can make changes to your support at any time by contacting Shannon Fitzgerald, associate director of development, at (312) 893-5508 or Shannon@BlessingsinaBackpack.org.

Thank you for becoming a sustaining donor of Blessings in a Backpack. Your support is helping us feed the future of America!
