How to Get Involved
 

1. Monetary Donations:
Since we are able to purchase food at a reduced rate, your donation of just $75.00 will provide a backpack to one child each weekend for an entire school year!


All money donated is tax deductible as we are a 501(c)3 organization.
Click the link below to pay using Paypal. All money donated will be used to purchase food, and will come with a copy of the purchased foods receipt mailed to you in the amount of the donation. Paypal accepts e-checks, as well as most major credit cards.  



Or go to paypal.com
Our email is mwilson@blessingsinabackpack.com

2. Organize a Food Drive
We accept food donations throughout the country. While our main offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky, we have donation centers and food pantries through the United States that will gladly accept most non perishable food at the center, or will come pick your food items up. Contact us at: mwilson@blessingsinabackpack.com
We will get you in touch with the location information closest to you.

 

3. Donate Time
If raising food isn't necessarily your bag, you can assist us in the feeding of the hungry by simply donating some of your time and talent. Everyone has a special talent, so call us and let us know what you do best. I'm sure that we can find a way for you to leverage your skill to eliminate hunger in your town. Several of our volunteer opportunities include such things as passing out food to the children during Friday afternoons, sorting food, moving food from storage location to school, and set up among many other opportunities. Contact us for further information and to get involved.

 

4. Donate Resources:
If you're not in the food industry, you can still help us fight hunger in your community by donating resources. If you can drive, have a truck and/or van that can be used for deliveries, if you have a forklift that we can borrow, or if you have employees who are looking for a way to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you! We are in special need of backpacks for these children to carry the food in.

 

Promotional Opportunities:
Your Company or Business can be supported through our organization and website. For more information, please contact us.
