Host a Virtual Packing Event fundraiser and work remotely with your employees to feed kids on the weekends!

Blessings in a Backpack will create an online donation portal exclusively for your company—share your link, ask employees to give, and see progress towards your goal. Here’s how it works:

• Determine the number of bags that your company aims to “pack.” Virtual packing event levels start at 500 bags with a fundraising goal of $2,000, a cost of $4 per bag of food.
• Blessings in a Backpack will create an online donation portal for your company. There’s even the option to create teams!
• Challenge your employees to “pack bags,” a.k.a. donate, to reach your fundraising goal.
• Consider having your company match employee donations to help meet your goal.

Donations made through virtual packing events cover the costs of providing prepacked bags of ready-to-eat food for school-aged children in the First Coast. The prepacked bags contain items that are healthy, kid-friendly, and meet the strict USDA standards. Click here to learn more about the food our programs serve.

Your Virtual Packing Event can be set up within one week of notifying us. In addition to creating your online fundraising portal, we can also provide event messaging, flyers, and tips to make your event as engaging as possible!
