Proudly Supporting Blessings in a Backpack and Raising Over $50,000 to Feed Hungry Children

Hey Backpack fans,

At More Than a Backpack, we're not just about providing quality products; we're committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. That's why we're proud to support Blessings in a Backpack, a charity dedicated to ensuring that children in America don't go hungry over the weekends.

Did you know that 13 million kids in America won't have enough food to eat this weekend? It's a staggering and heartbreaking reality, especially in a country with so many resources. How is this still possible in 2024? It shouldn't be the case that American children are hungry over the weekend. It is no fault of their own, and that's why we believe Blessings in a Backpack is the right charity for us to support.

What Does Blessings in a Backpack Do?

Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. To ensure the kids in your community have full bellies over the weekend, Blessings in a Backpack sends them home on Fridays with backpacks full of satisfying and nutritional food. This simple yet powerful gesture ensures that kids return to school on Monday nourished, focused, and ready to learn.

What Are We Doing to Help?

To support this incredible cause and help feed hungry children in America, More Than a Backpack is donating 1% from every backpack sold directly to Blessings in a Backpack. Every purchase you make helps ensure that a child in need has food to eat when school meals are not available.

What Does It Cost?

It costs as little as $100 to feed one child on the weekends for an entire 38-week school year through the Blessings in a Backpack program. The results are clear: Nourished kids who are ready to learn and thrive in their educational environments. Food is an essential building block, and in this case, it truly is a blessing, especially to a hungry child!

Total Raised So Far: Over $50,000!

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, we're thrilled to announce that More Than a Backpack has raised over $50,000 for Blessings in a Backpack. This milestone represents thousands of children who will have access to the nourishment they need to succeed.
