Blessings in a Backpack Chicago Chapter

Blessings in a Backpack Chicago Chapter The Blessings in a Backpack Chicago Chapter provides weekend food to school-aged children in Chicagoland who might otherwise go hungry.

We mobilize our local community to help kids return to school on Monday, ready to learn. Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the
weekends for school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. Incorporated in 2008, Blessings in a Backpack is the only national organization solely dedicated to
preventing childhood hunger on the weekends. We strive to ensure children do not go hungry on
the weekends by empowering individuals and communities to take action. Children fed by Blessings experience the following impact in their lives:
78% feel cared for by their community
75% feel they are helping their family
60% have fewer behavior issues
60% of children have improved school attendance
59% find it easier to learn at school

With your support, we hope to reach more than 100,000 children nationwide by 2022—including10,000 children in the Chicago region—resulting in more than 3.5 million hunger-free weekends
that school year.
