FORT MYERS, Fla. — Some kids across Southwest Florida are leaving school knowing they will have limited food until they return on Monday.
That's where the nonprofit Blessings in a Backpack steps up:
Students in Southwest Florida go home with Blessings in a Backpack
Every Friday, the organization, Blessings in a Backpack, sends bags to more than 8,000 students filled with snacks by partnering with 31 schools in our area.
Heather Ford works for Blessings in a Backpack. She says with rising food costs, they are in need of sponsors.
"To sponsor a child for one school year, it is $150, and per day it's day less than a McDonald's happy meal," Ford said.
