Blessings in a Backpack Grand Ledge began providing bags of nutritious, kid friendly food on weekends to needy children in the Early Childhood/Preschool Program at Holbrook School on November 8.
Research shows a positive correlation between intelligence and behavior with good nutrition in early childhood.
We also provide food to children at-risk for food insecurity on the weekends to the children at Beagle, Delta Center, Neff, Wacousta, St. Michael and Willow Ridge elementary schools. The homeless students in the Grand Ledge High School are also served by our program.
