About Blessings in a Backpack
Blessings in a Backpack is a results oriented program. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, this unique program is designed to feed elementary school children whose families qualify for the federal free and reduced meal program and may not have any or enough food on the weekends. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program. Blessings in a Backpack is currently feeding over 10,000 children in Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, California and New York. $80 feeds a child in the program for an entire school year. The organization is feeding the future of America, one school at a time. (Source: Blessings in a Backpack)
