Blessings in a Backpack (video)
Imagine you are sitting in your classroom on Monday morning struggling to make sense out of your teachers’ instructions. Try as you will, all you feel is your stomachs hunger pangs! You try hard to concentrate, but you feel tired and lethargic. Still your stomach aches, and now your head hurts as you look at the clock and wonder when it will be time to eat!
Everyday in Citrus County children arrive to school with empty stomachs, trying to learn without the benefit of proper nourishment.
The Blessings in a Backpack program has stepped in to help support school children, who by no fault of their own, simply do not have enough to eat on the weekends. These children come from ‘food insecure’ families that are unable to satisfy weekend needs.
