The Blessings in a Backpack is designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children and families over weekends. This is a program being initiated through the efforts of concerned citizens, University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work, Stan Curtis of Kentucky and USA Harvest, Hilary Duff, along with several sponsoring corporations. Every Friday afternoon, volunteers will fill selected student's backpacks with non-perishable food items. This program is limited to those students utilizing the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
