"People forget that food insecurity extends far outside city limits. Children in rural areas are often hit especially hard during breaks from school, with devastating consequences. We believe every child deserves the basic human dignity of food, and we are deeply grateful to these funders and partners who have made feeding children a priority." -Jama Ross, Blessings in a Backpack Executive Director
