All of us at Blessings in a Backpack are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of our emeritus board member, Junior Bridgeman. Junior was integral to building Blessings in a Backpack’s foundation as an early board member and enthusiastic supporter of our mission. His philanthropic reach and impact will be felt for generations. Our thoughts are with Doris, Eden, Ryan, Justin, and everyone who has ever been touched by Junior’s generosity and kindness. Please take a moment today to remember Junior's humble and generous support of charitable causes dear to him, his dedication to the Louisville community and deep ties to Milwaukee, and his inspirational entrepeneurial spirit. Most of all, his incredible heart will be missed by so many. We are honored to be a small part of his tremendous legacy.

School-aged kids need 1,200-2,200 calories per day—about the same energy it takes to run a full-on backyard obstacle course. That’s why every Blessings bag is packed to keep kids fueled, focused, and ready to take on their day! #NationalNutritionMonth #BlessingsInABackpackWaukesha #HungerFreeWeekends
