Help Feed Hungry Children and Families
The brightest future for every family begins with nurturing its children.
When you join hands with One More Child, your generosity meets the needs of hungry children and families. Not only do you provide hope, you also save lives.
Our Solution
Our Backpack Meals program for Hungry Children and Families:
We provided more than 14 million meals to vulnerable children and families around the world in 2022. However, our mission does not end there. We recognize the importance of ensuring children in our local communities have access to nutritious meals, especially over the weekend when school lunches are unavailable.
With the help of supporters and volunteers, we package nutritious food into nondescript backpacks and deliver these meals directly to schools. Working-class individuals and families needing assistance receive fresh produce, boxed goods, canned goods, milk, juice, and more to make certain children are fed healthy, energizing food.

Your financial gift feeds hungry children:
- $30 = one month of weekend meals
- $90 = three months of weekend meals
- $180 = six months of weekend meals
- $360 = one year of weekend meals

Emmanuel’s Story
Emmanuel’s school lunch on Friday was his last full meal before returning to school on Monday – until your generosity stepped in.
For less than $10, he was able to receive meals for an entire weekend through One More Child’s Backpack Meals program.
Your gift could help us feed ONE MORE hungry child.
