BackPack Blessings partners with two elementary schools and the Salvation Army After School Program to reach children who have little to no food on the weekends. Each week during the school year, backpacks are stocked with nutritious, child-friendly, and easy-to-prepare food so chronically hungry children have food for the weekend.
Children should never be anxious about food, and as a result of BackPack Blessings, improvement has been seen in student test scores, attendance, and behavior.
