Blessing Bags is a backpack program in which we supply children in need within the Saltillo/ Guntown Schools with food bags to provide food over the weekend when they are not in school. We pack the bags with breakfast, lunch, and snack options. All food selections are non-perishable and “kid friendly”, so that they are able to eat without adult supervision. We currently provide 87 children, weekly, with Blessing Bags and we anticipate that this number will grow due to inflation and changes in the economy. The Women’s Club also send home extra food bags when school breaks occur. The total monthly cost of running the Blessing Bags program is roughly $1,850 or
approximately $19 per child.
