Donate Now Photo of kids holding up their bags of food For millions of American Children, School = Food COVID-19 school closures have taught us that school is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. It's a place where kids feel safe and secure and have access to meals during the week. Help ensure kids have food on the weekends too Photo of smiling kids Who Will Feed Kids in Orlando At Blessings in a Backpack we often ask, "Who will feed the kids this weekend?" But the COVID-19 emergency has caused us to expand our programs from feeding kids on the weekends, to now serving kids while schools are closed. Our Response to COVID-19 When Schools Are Closed? Photo of boy holding up his bag of food Our Impact During 19/20 School Year With the help of amazing partners, we were able to feed more children than ever before AND help kids while schools are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
