Back Pack Blessings partners with two elementary schools and the Salvation Army After School Program to reach children who qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Price Meal Program and have little to no food on the weekends.
In 2011, one of our members recognized the need for a ministry to address the issue of food insecurity in Cobb County, particularly at Fair Oaks Elementary School in Mableton. Through volunteer participation, financial donations, and the use of a nearby home owned by Mt. Bethel, Back Pack Blessings provides backpacks filled with child-friendly foods each Friday to students who qualify.
