COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Our Community Partners have held food drives, organized packing parties, donated their time, energy, and $$. The donations and grants received have allowed us to grow from 30 students in 2014 to hundreds in 2024.

 

LOCAL IMPACT

Our program has a positive impact on students attending elementary schools in our local communities.  Blessings in a Backpack (BIAB), Rancho Cordova, provides weekend food for kids that face food insecurity issues during the approx. 65 hours they are not in school.
