More than 64,000 students in Louisville face food insecurity. Blessings in a Backpack provides food for school-aged children who might otherwise go hungry when school meals aren't available. This effort helps ensure kids have the nourishment they need to thrive — even when school is out. Huge thanks to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to make a difference!
