Each week, volunteers, in cooperation with school officials, distribute backpacks filled with enough non-perishable food for the weekend (six meals) to "hunger insecure" school-age children. These students participate in the government subsidized free or reduced fee lunch program. The goal of blessings in a backpack program is to keep these children from going hungry on the weekends and remove barriers to academic success.
