Blessings in a Backpack Southern Wisconsin Chapter

04/03/2026

When you were a child, the future felt wide open. You could be anything.

But for 13.8 million children in America experiencing food insecurity, weekend hunger can cloud those dreams. When school meals pause on Friday, uncertainty sets in.

It is hard to focus on math, reading, or imagining your future when you are worried about your next meal.

Blessings in a Backpack provides weekend food so children can return to school nourished and ready to learn. Help clear the way for their dreams.

Did you know March is National Nutrition Month?

At Blessings in a Backpack Southern Wisconsin, we believe every child deserves the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive. While many kids receive meals at school during the week, weekends can be a different story... That’s where we come in.

Through the support of our community and dedicated volunteers, Blessings in a Backpack provides ready-to-eat, kid-friendly food for school-aged children who might otherwise go hungry on the weekends. Together, we’re working toward a future where every child has the nourishment they need to succeed, and you can to.

When a community comes together, incredible things happen. Every weekend, children across our county open a backpack filled with the food they need — and the reassurance that someone cares. That moment is made possible by partners of Blessings in a Backpack Southern Wisconsin Chapter who believe, just as we do, that no child should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

When your organization joins us, you’re not just giving; you’re creating joy, stability, and opportunity. You’re rallying your team around a mission that truly matters. You’re helping a child return to school on Monday fed, confident, and ready to learn. Partnerships with us spark pride, strengthen culture, and make a real, immediate difference in the lives of local kids.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to share hope and create lasting impact, we would love to partner with you. Here's how you can become a corporate sponsor today: https://waukesha.blessingsinabackpack.org/corporate-packing-events/
