Wow! What an incredibly successful Trivia Night! We raised over $20,000 - every dollar of which goes towards feeding students in our Lake Orion community. Thank you to all who attended and made the night such a success!

Because hunger doesn't stop on the weekend.......

Did you know that there are currently 1,500 school-age children in the Lake Orion community on the free / reduced lunch program and therefore at risk of weekend food insecurity?

But we, the Lake Orion community, can do something about this!

Blessings in a Backpack is a national organization that is currently in 42 states including Michigan. 
 Blessings in a Backpack-Lake Orion is a committee of parents, local business owners, community members and educators operating in partnership with the national Blessings in a Backpack organization, and Meijer to provide at risk students with a backpack containing six nutritious meals to feed them over the weekend. 

$100 will provide a backpack and food to one child each weekend for an entire school year!
We are reaching out to all members of the Orion Community - parents, local businesses, community members. You can help in so many ways - volunteering your time (a lot of backpacks will need to be packed!), fundraising, donating resources, helping with transportation, monetary donations to name but a few.
