Inspire Health 365 Announces Partnership with Blessings in a Backpack to Help Provide Meals to Elementary School Children on the Weekends
Inspire Health 365 has partnered with Blessings in a Backpack, to help provide meals over the weekend for "at risk" elementary school children. These students are given a bag of food on Fridays filled with non-perishable food items that require little to no preparation.
Wichita, KS, August 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Inspire Health 365, (http://www.inspirehealth365.com) a nationwide provider of affordable individual and group health and dental plans, has partnered with Blessings in a Backpack to help feed "food insecure" elementary school children on the weekends around the U.S. Each week, volunteers for Blessings in a Backpack, in cooperation with school officials, distribute bags of food filled with non-perishable items for the weekend to nearly 93,000 "at-risk" students, at over 1,100 schools across the United States. These students are participants in the government subsidized free or reduced fee hot lunch program.
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest data, the estimated number of children in 'food insecure' households is nearly 16 million. A 'food insecure' household lacks access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all members," says Petrea Dishman, founder and president of Inspire Health 365. "I don't know if people realize the hunger and poverty families are facing right here in the United States. Inspire Health 365 was looking for the right US-based program that helps those in need, and we were excited to discover the Blessings in a Backpack program!"
Commenting on the new partnership, Blessings in a Backpack CEO Brooke Wiseman said, "We are so grateful for Inspire Health 365's understanding of the silent epidemic of childhood hunger. The only hunger children should experience is to learn and succeed."
