Get Involved
For a lot of kids, food is their most important school supply. Because when kids have enough food, they do better in school.
At Blessings in a Backpack, we ensure that kids nationwide have full bellies over the weekend by sending them home on Fridays with backpacks full of satisfying and healthy food. There are many ways for you to get involved:
