About Blessings in a Backpack:

The Citrus County Blessings in a Backpack, Florida chapter of Blessings in a Backpack was started in 2009 with Hernando Elementary School being the pilot participating school. Homosassa Elementary will be added in September, 2010. In Citrus Co, FL, a staggering 65% of public school children are on government-assisted meal programs. Many of these children go from Friday afternoon until Monday morning with no access to food or meals, other than that provided by charities, such as Blessings in a Backpack.

Through Blessings in a Backpack’s weekend meals program, children benefit via:
— Increased access to vitamin-fortified food
— Increased attendance at school
— Higher test scores
— Reduced behavioral problems
— Increased parental participation
— Learn more at the national Blessings in a Backpack site
