Wishing you all the joys of the holiday season.

WHO WE ARE

designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children each week.
Volunteers in cooperation with school officials distribute backpacks
filled with enough non-perishable food for the weekend to students,
the goal of the Blessings in a Backpack program is to keep these students
from going hungry on the weekends and remove barriers to academic success.
Our program Karing 4 Kidz is proud to be a chapter of Blessings in a Backpack.
