Blessings in a Backpack Louisville Chapter

Could you go 65 hours without eating?  Most of us couldn't, yet almost 80,000 kids in Louisville do just that every weekend and are expected to return to school on Monday, focusing on what is being taught and behaving in class.   With your help, we can change that!  It only takes $150 to feed a child for one school year; any size donation makes a huge difference as we can stretch every dollar donated to feed more kids because of our relationship with Sysco, Kellogg's, Conagra, and others.  Thank you for helping us feed hungry children in Louisville!

Who We Are

When school dismisses on Friday, almost 80,000 children in Louisville will leave their classrooms uncertain whether they will have enough food to eat that weekend. During the school week, most of these children depend on their school's meal program, but sadly, lunch on Friday is often the last meal they receive until they return to school on Monday. That's 65 hours without food!

As a leader in the movement to end childhood hunger, Blessings in a Backpack strives to ensure children do not go hungry on the weekends. By empowering individuals and communities to take action, we aim to make hunger-free weekends a reality for children in Louisville. Please consider donating today to ensure kids in your community have the food they need to learn and grow.
