BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK AT WALES ELEMENTARY
Blessings in a Backpack is an organization that helps to fill the weekend “gap.” This is a time when many children go hungry in our communities. They started bridging the gap by serving 25 students at Hadfield Elementary School in Waukesha, and now serve 3,300 children at 38 schools. They help bridge the gap for these children every week during the school year by filling their backpacks with food for the weekend.
Your child may be eligible to be a recipient of the Blessings in a Backpack program. If you would like to receive a bag of food, and need the food, then you don’t need to do anything. Food will be dispensed in a discreet and caring manner into your child’s backpack. There is no cost associated with this program.
If you choose to opt out of this program, you can sign the form that will be available at great start conferences and return it school.
