Lambert Blessings in a Backpack

Blessings in a Backpack is a Lambert organization that provides weekend food to elementary/middle school children who are on the Federal Free & Reduced Meal Program in Forsyth County. The children are given bags of food to take home each weekend during the school year. Lambert High School club members raise money, purchase food, and each Friday, pack bags which are then delivered to elementary/middle schools in Forsyth County. $100 feeds one child in the program for an entire 35-week school year. 100% of the food and money collected will be used to fill backpacks for students in our county. This school year we are feeding 344 students at 16 schools, that is over 12,000 backpacks of food and 84,000 food items.

We are part of blessingsinabackpack.org that feeds over 90,000 children every weekend.
