More than $150,000 was raised and all the proceeds will support the Blessings in a Backpack program feeding Southwest Florida public school children on the weekends. Every Friday afternoon, children at participating schools receive backpacks filled with kid friendly, ready-to-eat items. Schools that participate in the program report that test scores, reading skills, positive behavior, general health and attendance improve dramatically as a result of children getting the nourishment they need. The Southwest Florida Chapter of Blessings in a Backpack supplies hunger-free weekends to elementary school children in the Fort Myers and Naples areas.
