Seventh Annual "Do It Yourself" 5K Walk/Run

Blessings in a Backpack unites communities to help ensure elementary school children have access to food on the weekends when school meals are unavailable. By mobilizing volunteers, donors, and local resources, Blessings provides nutritious, weekend-ready meals to children who might otherwise go hungry.

Today, Blessings in a Backpack distributes more than three million meals annually, helping children return to school on Monday nourished, ready to learn, and prepared to succeed.
