Blessings in a Backpack is a national organization that mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.

Dearborn First UMC has supported the Dearborn chapter by helping to pack bags of food to be distributed in Dearborn elementary schools, and through financial donations.

For more information, contact Kirstin Karoub: kkaroub@gmail.com
