Blessings in a Backpack

Blessings in a Backpack partners with America to ensure impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.

Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.

12 Million elementary school children are on the free & reduced meal program
Nearly 58,000 children in 498 schools and in 41 states are currently being fed by Blessings in a Backpack
The power of $80 - feeds a child on the weekends for a 38-week school year

Blessings in a Backpack was named Charity of the Year for 2012 by People Magazine's First Help Feed a Child Campaign.

We would like to give many thanks to our corporate sponsors without which this program might not be possible.
