Donate Now: Every Frederick Child Deserves a Full Weekend

Elementary-age children going back to school in summer 2024

As the 2024/25 school year begins, thousands of local children face a daunting reality: going hungry on weekends. But you can help change that.

At Blessings in a Backpack, we believe that every child should have access to healthy, nutritious food every day of the week. That’s why we’re committed to providing weekend food to 3,500 children in Frederick this school year.

Your support will help us:

Reduce weekend hunger
Improve academic performance
Provide stability and reassurance for children in your community
Give kids the energy and focus they need to succeed

Every $150 donated provides a school year’s worth of food for one child. Your gift makes a difference, and together, we can create a hunger-free future for kids.

Donate today to make a difference in the lives of children in Frederick County.

All gifts to the Blessings in a Backpack Frederick Chapter this back-to-school season will be matched up to $10,000. That means double the impact!

This matching gift is made possible by a grant from Ausherman Family Foundation.
