About Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County
Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County is a 501(c)3 dedicated to alleviating childhood hunger in Floyd County, Indiana.
Just under 1 in 6 Floyd County children face food insecurity. When school dismisses on Friday, 30% of NAFCS pre-k through 6th grade students would leave their classroom unsure of whether they will have enough to eat until school starts again next Monday, if not for the work of Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County.
Through donations from local individuals and companies, Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County is able to ensure that students in need don’t go hungry over the weekend and can return to school ready to learn. Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County serves children at all 9 NAFCS elementary schools and the 3 middle schools in our district.
About the Race
The Be A Blessing 5K & 1M Fun Run is open to all abilities and is not a timed event. On this brisk November morning, you run, walk or stroll along the paved path around the lake at Sam Peden Community Park. It is 1 lap for those who are choosing to do the 1M and 3 laps for those wanting to do the 5K.
This is a rain/shine event.
