Marysville

The Blessings in a Backpack program in Marysville, Ohio, provides non-perishable food every week throughout the school year for children who might benefit from supplemental nutrition. We serve five elementary schools — Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, and Raymond — as well as Creekview Intermediate School.

Every 'blessing’ bag we send home includes, at minimum, two breakfast items, two entree/protein items, and two healthy snacks. We also send extra items home for long weekends and extended breaks to help keep bellies full until kids return to school.

We are 100% community-funded, meaning we couldn’t do what we do without the support of individuals, groups, churches, businesses, and organizations committed to fighting alongside us against childhood hunger and food insecurity. Thanks to the generous support of our community thus far, we’ve been able to serve up to 285 kids per year since we started in 2012, and we are committed to standing in the gap for families in Marysville, Ohio, for many years to come.
