Our Mission: 

 "Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide for children who might otherwise go hungry."

70% of children in Fort Wayne Community Schools  struggle with food insecurity. 

To combat this, we provide children with:

Blessings Bags-Supplemental bags of nutritious food every Friday during the school year, ensuring they do not endure weekends without eating.  
Summer Bags- Blessings Bags available every Friday during the Summer, at 8 library locations throughout the county. 
Believe Bags -Holiday/Seasonal bags aimed at improving the mental health/self image of children stuck in food insecurity.
Brave Bags aka "William's Bags" -Lifeline assistance bags with food, hygiene, activity and comfort care for children undergoing treatment for abuse/neglect.

OVER 160,000 children will be assisted LOCALLY through our programs this year  with your support. 

Your $120 gift feeds a child from our program
for an entire year.
