The Blessings in a Backpack program in Marysville, Ohio, provides non-perishable food every week throughout the school year for children who might benefit from supplemental nutrition. We currently serve five elementary schools Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, and Raymond plus Creekview Intermediate School and the Mini Monarch Academy.
Every blessing bag we send home for the weekend includes, at minimum, two breakfast items, two entree/protein items, and two healthy snacks. We also send extra items home for long weekends and extended breaks to help keep bellies full until kids return to school.
We are 100% community-funded, meaning we couldnt do what we do without the support of individuals, groups, churches, businesses, and organizations committed to ending childhood hunger and food insecurity alongside us. Thanks to the generous support of our community thus far, weve been able to serve anywhere from 140 to 285 kids per year since we started in 2012, and we are committed to standing in the gap for families in Marysville, Ohio, for many years to come.
