Blessings in a Backpack - Boerne, TX

Blessings in a Backpack - Boerne, TX Blessings in a Backpack partners with our community to ensure impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.

Hunger Doesn't Take Weekends Off

-What Do We Do?-

Blessings in a Backpack provides elementary schoolchildren in Boerne with a backpack of food to take home for 38 weekends during the school year. Backpack food includes easy-to-prepare, ready-to-eat foods, like granola bars, juice boxes, mac and cheese, and oatmeal.


-Why Do We Do It?-

1 in 5 Boerne ISD elementary students are at risk for goin

g hungry. The consequences of hunger are much more than a growling stomach. Poor nutrition can result in a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization, lower IQ, shorter attention spans, and lower academic achievement. Children are fed during the school week by federal government programs, but we want to make sure they’re getting nutritional meals over the weekend, too.

-How Much Does it Cost?-

$125 feeds one child on the weekends for one 38 week school year through the Blessings in a Backpack program.
