BIAB feeds “Frederick’s Future, One Child at a Time”.
Our vision is that no child will ever be hungry.
Through the efforts of dedicated volunteers and financial support from the community,
we hope to end childhood food insecurity in our County.

Every Friday, 27 percent of Frederick County students leave school uncertain if they will have food to eat over the weekend. That’s 65 hours without proper nutrition…65 hours!
More than 11,000 of our students qualify for and receive free and reduced-price meals during the school week, but “Who will feed the kids this weekend?” Blessings in a Backpack, Frederick is a local chapter of the national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that seeks to solve this devastating problem.
Through an all-volunteer network, we mobilize resources to provide food on the weekends and over school breaks for our school children. And we need your help.
The food provided by Blessings in a Backpack (BIAB) offers a greater opportunity for these children to return to school better prepared to participate and learn. BIAB Frederick currently serves 2,600+ children in 19 local schools. It costs only $100 to feed a single child each weekend for an entire 38-week school year and 100% of the money raised is used to feed local Frederick children.
The more money we raise, the more children we can feed! Donate here.
