Every child deserves a full, happy childhood—starting with a full stomach. This #NationalChildrensDay, join us in celebrating kids everywhere by helping provide hunger-free weekends. Show your support: ow.ly/StXk50W2IUq

In 2023, 13.8 million kids in the U.S. were food insecure—up from 13.4 million in 2022. That’s over 3.2 million households struggling to feed their children. We're working to change that with hunger-free weekends.

Happy #NationalJerkyDay! 🐄 Did you know? Jack Link's Jerky meat sticks are just one of the protein-packed items found in our bags of food. Protein is essential for growing kids—experts recommend it make up 10–30% of a child’s daily calories.

Every Blessings bag starts with planning, volunteers, partnerships, and a passion for feeding kids on the weekends. Pack a bag with us and see how it all comes together. 🎒

60 hours. That’s how long the weekend feels for a child without enough to eat. We’re closing that gap—one bag of food at a time. You can donate today to ensure kids have enough to eat over the weekend: ow.ly/cEf050W2N2M

One bag of food. One bright smile. One big difference.

It's #NationalSelfieDay! Show us your favorite photo from any Blessings in a Backpack related event. Tag us and use #BlessingsinaBackpackSelfie for a chance to be featured!

"I love Fridays because it’s the day I get food for at my house." Fridays hit differently when you're a kid who knows there's food waiting in your backpack to eat over the weekend.

What’s it like to receive a bag of food from Blessings in a Backpack? One child said, "I love the food cause if I don't have eney thing at home I can eat that. It is greatful and nice you did this for us." We’ll never get tired of hearing that. ♥️

Power Packs = powered-up weekends! ⚡ These smiles say it all—kids leave school on Fridays knowing they’ll have the food they need to feel strong, focused, and cared for all weekend long. Thank you to our volunteers and supporters for making this possible every week!

Hunger is a problem that kids can’t solve alone. When school cafeterias close for the weekend, too many children are left without reliable access to food. That’s where we step in—providing nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to help kids return to school Monday ready to learn.

In a community where the closest grocery store is 15 miles away, Principal Ortiz shares how the Blessings in a Backpack program makes a difference for students—filling their bags on Friday and empowering their minds for Monday.

“We didn’t grow up with silver spoons, but we always had food.” When Jan realized many kids don’t eat on weekends, she asked the question we all should: Why don’t these kids have food on the weekends?
