When you were a kid, your mom probably left little love notes in your lunch box to brighten your day. At Filling in the Blanks, we try to bring that same sweet surprise to the thousands of students in Connecticut that we serve every weekend.
Thanks to our volunteers, our Weekend Meal Bags aren’t just filled with nutritious snacks and healthy meals, they also include encouraging notes. We know that when children are experiencing food insecurity, it brings on high levels of stress, and sometimes asking for help is tough. These kindness notes let them know that we’re proud to serve them every weekend and they have a supportive, reliable community rooting for them at Filling in the Blanks.
Want to get involved and write a note to our students? It’s easy, and a great activity for kids and adults alike! Just download the note template from our site and mail it back to us. We are always looking for volunteers and love to see how you’re helping your community. Tag us on Instagram @filling_blanks as you write your notes and you might get featured on our blog or social media!
Providing weekend meals to children in need goes beyond nutrition—it delivers hope, encouragement, and emotional stability. Filling in the Blanks emphasizes how something as simple as a bag of food can strengthen a child’s sense of security and belonging. This kind of consistent care is what builds healthier futures. In the same spirit of nourishment, your body can benefit from natural detox support. So genuine organic essiac tea offers in-depth insights on Essiac Tea and fulvic acid, known for their ability to promote cellular health and overall vitality. Supporting your body as you support others creates a cycle of strength and compassion.
