Just under 1 in 6 Floyd County, Indiana children face food insecurity. When school dismisses on Friday, these kids would leave their classroom unsure of whether they will have enough to eat that weekend, if not for the work of Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County.
As research indicates, consistent and reliable nutrition is necessary for success, not only academically, but also mentally and socially. Children from food insecure homes suffer from various cognitive delays and will also have a lower attendance rate.
Approximately 30% of NAFCS pre-K to 8th grade students enrolled in Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County. These numbers increases daily.
Schools served by Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County include :
Fairmont Elementary
Floyds Knobs Elementary
Georgetown Elementary
Grant Line Elementary
Green Valley Elementary
Greenville Elementary
Mt. Tabor Elementary
S. Ellen Jones Elementary
Slate Run Elementary
Hazelwood Middle School
Highland Hills Middle School
Scribner Middle School
For as little as $3.75 per weekend, or $150 a school year, you can provide a hunger-free weekend to a child.
