No child should ever go hungry, but it happens every day across Canada to 1.2 million children. Please help my friends and family raise money for an amazing charity trying to end food insecurity in children across Canada "Blessings in a Backpack"
Last year we raised enough money to feed over 60 children for an entire year, do you know how full that makes our hearts. This year we have our sights set on feeding 100 kids!.
Blessings in a Backpack runs a unique program that feeds elementary school children with dignity on the weekends when many of them would otherwise go hungry. While lunch clubs and breakfast clubs are feeding some of these children at their schools, on the weekends they have nothing. We can put an end to this.
Any donation helps, every $100 we raise will feed a child for an entire school year, this makes a difference in a child’s ability to succeed in school. Full bellies help with paying attention in class.
Every friday volunteers in the school pack backpacks full of enough nutritious food to last the weekend. The kids pick up their backpacks friday after school and return it monday morning empty ready to be filled for next friday.
100% of your donation goes to feeding hungry kids. Blessings in a Backpack is volunteer driven, and we ensure gifts are used for the purpose for which they are intended – helping eliminate hunger among school children. Not only are you helping these children to grow and learn you are also easing the stress this puts on the families of these kids.
Think this doesn't happen in your area, there are schools in Toronto where we are feeding upwards of 100 kids a week! Please give.
You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.
