Hunger doesn’t take the weekend off!
Did you know that 1 in 3 Baltimore students experience food insecurity? That amounts to nearly 38,000 children who have uncertain or inadequate access to nutritious food. Our TruCares March sponsorship provided monetary support to our good friends at Weekend Backpacks, whose mission is to improve the lives of students affected by food insecurity in Baltimore, Maryland, by delivering bags of nutritious and child-friendly food to schools weekly.
This wonderful organization provides meal support to 1,900 student families each week. In 2024 alone, they distributed 55,350 bags, which comes out to about 996,300 meals for families in need! The Cares team is honored to repeatedly partner with and support this important cause within our community.
