Feeding  Dreams.
Together. 

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

To combat this, we provide children in our schools 
with a nutritious bag of food in their backpacks every
Friday during the school year, ensuring that children must not endure an entire weekend before being fed again. 

OVER 137,000 children are assisted LOCALLY
every year, with your support. 





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

Our Mission: 

 Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-aged children who might otherwise go hungry.
