Humana's Generous Contribution Supports Floyd County Students Through Blessings in a Backpack

Local Partnership Ensures Weekend Meals for Over 1,300 NAFCS Students

Humana has made a significant impact on the Floyd County community by raising an impressive $23,000 for Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County.

This generous donation will provide four full weeks of weekend food bags for students and families in need within the New Albany-Floyd County Schools (NAFCS) system.

Beyond their financial support, Humana employees actively participated by volunteering their time to pack the food bags, ensuring that students head home with the nourishment they deserve.

As the Christmas Break approaches, this collaborative effort has resulted in over 1,300 bags filled with food, guaranteeing that children remain fed during the holiday period.

Blessings in a Backpack is dedicated to providing weekend meals for students from Pre-K through 6th grade who may face food insecurity at home.

These meals are crucial in helping children return to school on Monday ready to learn and succeed.

In addition to Humana's contribution, the Floyd County Legacy Foundation awarded a $7,000 grant to Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County earlier this year, further supporting their mission to combat childhood hunger in the region.

Community support continues to grow, with local businesses like Libs Paving also contributing to the cause.

Libs Paving recently donated funds to assist in feeding over 2,000 Pre-K to 6th grade students in the NAFCS district, demonstrating a strong commitment to the well-being of local children.

These collective efforts highlight the power of community partnerships in addressing food insecurity and ensuring that every child in Floyd County has the opportunity to thrive.

For those interested in supporting this vital cause, Blessings in a Backpack Floyd County offers various ways to get involved, including donations, volunteering, and corporate sponsorship opportunities.

By coming together, the community can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local students.
