Children facing food insecurity should head into the weekend with more than a backpack full of books.

What’s in a weekend bag? A whole lot more than food. It’s peace of mind. It’s a brighter Monday. It’s a kid knowing they matter. That’s the power of a hunger-free weekend—and it all starts with you. Join us in feeding kids this weekend:

Angel’s handwritten note is the reminder we all need—every bag of food is a big deal to a child experiencing food insecurity. 🍎🎒

“We didn’t grow up with silver spoons, but we always had food.”.When Jan realized many kids don’t eat on weekends, she asked the question we all should: Why don’t these kids have food on the weekends?

In a community where the closest grocery store is 15 miles away, Principal Ortiz shares how the Blessings in a Backpack program makes a difference for students—filling their bags on Friday and empowering their minds for Monday.

Hunger is a problem that kids can’t solve alone. When school cafeterias close for the weekend, too many children are left without reliable access to food. That’s where we step in—providing nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to help kids return to school Monday ready to learn.

Power Packs = powered-up weekends! ⚡ These smiles say it all—kids leave school on Fridays knowing they’ll have the food they need to feel strong, focused, and cared for all weekend long. Thank you to our volunteers and supporters for making this possible every week!

What’s it like to receive a bag of food from Blessings in a Backpack? One child said, "I love the food cause if I don't have eney thing at home I can eat that. It is greatful and nice you did this for us.". We’ll never get tired of hearing that. ♥️

"I love Fridays because it’s the day I get food for at my house.". Fridays hit differently when you're a kid who knows there's food waiting in your backpack to eat over the weekend.

60 hours. That’s how long the weekend feels for a child without enough to eat. We’re closing that gap—one bag of food at a time. You can donate today to ensure kids have enough to eat over the weekend:
