When considering how best to support its communities, Liberty asked its employees what mattered most鈥攁nd the message was clear: focus on children and address hunger. Blessings in a Backpack was a natural fit. With Blessings in a Backpack program nationwide and more than 50 Liberty facilities across the country, many employees were already familiar with the charity鈥檚 impact in their own communities 鈥� making it a meaningful way for Liberty to give back where our people live and work.
In 2024, Liberty launched the partnership, raising $87,000 and hosting backpack-packing events at sites across the country. This year, Liberty built on that commitment, raising nearly 40 percent more and preparing to pack more than 4,500 backpacks at four locations in October鈥攑roviding thousands of hunger-free weekends for children in need.
