BACKGROUND
Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-age children across America who might otherwise go hungry. Each week, in collaboration with thousands of dedicated volunteers and partners nationwide, we send bags of nourishing food home with children who rely on free and reduced-price meal programs during the school week. In the 2023-2024 academic year, we distributed 3.3 million bags of food, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless children and families.
As a national organization, Blessings operates through seven regional chapters and over 1,200 community-driven programs. Our collective impact is supported by a team of employees that work to ensure the success of mission delivery across all locations.
The Frederick Blessings Chapter currently serves over 4,200 children at 30 program sites. Established in 2020, the chapter is led by a managing director and supported by an advisory board comprising business, civic, and community leaders.
Here, you'll find an energetic environment where passion meets purpose, and every action contributes to building a brighter future for our communities’ children. Join us in our mission to ensure no child goes hungry on the weekends.
