Mission Statement
Our mission: Hunger does not take a weekend break. The Elk River Backpack Blessings program is working to decrease the burden of childhood hunger throughout the Elk Valley by providing a weekend food nutrition program to children in the area. In our service area, many families live at or below the federal poverty level – a condition that almost always equates to missed meals and hunger. Since nutrition affects cognitive, social and emotional development, children who do not get proper foods are more likely to have problems learning, growing and interacting. Elk River Backpack Blessings works to ensure that children who rely on school breakfasts and lunches continue to receive proper nutrition vital to their growth and development over the weekend.
