One of the many ways to make a gift to Blessings in a Backpack is by naming us in your will or trust. Some supporters might choose this option so they can leave a lasting contribution without affecting current financial security and freedom. Planned (or estate) gifts offer an avenue for supporters to leave a legacy of fighting childhood hunger.
