We are excited to share that Blessings in a Backpack is partnering with The Community Foundation of Whitley County, Parkview Whitley Hospital, and United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko Counties to assist children who may experience food insecurity during summer break.

Beginning June 5th, Blessings in a Backpack’s Summer Feeding Program will distribute nearly 3,000 bags of nonperishable food in Kosciusko and Whitley counties this summer.

"Adequate nutrition is the cornerstone of every child's development - and we can't expect our kids to play and learn at their best when they're hungry,” says Dr. Andrew Piropato at Parkview Whitley. “...I am so thankful to the community partners that quickly came together to provide this vital service for the kids in Whitley County.”

If you or your family are in need of resources that this program provides, please note that food will be available at the following locations while supplies last:

📍 CHURUBUSCO:
• Blue Lake Building
• Smith-Green Community Schools

📍 COLUMBIA CITY:
• BABE of Whitley County
