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. Chicago Blessings currently feeds 6,000 kids each weekend, however, there are over 150,000 food-insecure kids throughout Chicagoland. Thank you for being a part of feeding hungry kids on the weekend!
