Proceeds will benefit Blessings in a Backpack of Jackson County, which currently provides weekend meals for 622 elementary and middle school children in the county.
Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary and middle 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 $150 per kid each school year to send the weekly meals home with them.
Without the help of local individuals and businesses providing donations, these children may otherwise go hungry.
