What does it feel like to be a child battling hunger? This is what they've told us.
With over 70% of children in Fort Wayne Community Schools unsure of when or where their next meal is coming from, the need for the basic human necessity of food cannot be overstated.

Small amounts add up to HUGE changes. Just $10 a month feeds a child for an ENTIRE YEAR in our program. Learn how you can sponsor anywhere from a single child to an entire school with the Blessings Giving Society.

“After all the kids ate, my parents had to share a plate. I would eat no more than half my plate and give it to my younger siblings. My parents would cry because they felt like they had let us down.”

What she gave to the students during her administration left a lasting impact that is to be commended, admired, and respected. Her loss will be felt throughout our community.

We send our condolences to her family as well as the entire FWCS community as this time.

Our organization was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Dr. Wendy Robinson. Her influence was vital to the implementation of Blessings in a Backpack in Fort Wayne Community Schools.

Every Friday throughout the school year, children attending schools with the Blessings in a Backpack program will receive a bag of nutritious food to last them throughout the weekend.

Over 70% of children in FWCS struggle with food insecurity. Without meeting their basic needs, we cannot expect them to perform in the classroom.
Blessings is fighting to give children a future, starting at the core.
