Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children. The program works with nutritionists to develop weekend menus that provide the most protein for the dollar spent. The food given to the kids is shelf stable, easy to open and requires no preparation or access to appliances. It costs $135 per kid each school year to send the weekly meals home with them.

In Jackson County, 611 elementary school and middle school children have come to rely on Blessings in a Backpack to provide them with weekend meals every week.

Without the help of local individuals and businesses providing donations, these children may otherwise go hungry, Kindel said.
