Planning is underway for the following events:

Race to Feed – July 25, 2026

Teams of 10 will go head-to-head in a lively bracket-style competition to see who is the fastest at packing bags of food. Team categories include corporations, community groups/small businesses, as well as college and high school students. Beyond the fun and teamwork, every bag packed will help fuel kids in Central Florida with the nutrition they need over the weekend. All bags of food will be donated to local Blessings programs in your community.

If you are interested in volunteering on the Race to Feed Committee or on the day of the event, please contact: Diane LaVigna at dianel@blessingsinabackpack.org.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for all upcoming events.
