Blessings in a Backpack is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Blessings in a Backpack has more than 1,200 programs nationwide and seven regional chapters. We serve children nationwide, with a heart for every local community. Our flexible model offers efficient, scalable solutions to help end weekend hunger for kids everywhere.

Each week, with the help of thousands of volunteers, partners, and donors, we send bags of nutritious food home with children who rely on school meal programs. Our collective impact is supported by a team of employees that work to ensure the success of mission delivery across all locations. 

Since 2009, Blessings in a Backpack has provided 30 million hunger-free weekends for more than one million children nationwide.
