SAVE THE DATE- Bridge the Gap Southern Wisconsin: Thursday April 29th, 2027

Bridge the Gap is Blessings in a Backpack Southern Wisconsin’s premier annual fundraising event dedicated to ending childhood hunger on weekends. The benefit brings together community leaders, businesses, philanthropists, and supporters for an inspiring evening focused on ensuring children in southern Wisconsin have access to nutritious food when school meals are unavailable.

Guests enjoy an evening of fun, entertainment, auctions, and impactful stories highlighting the growing need for weekend food programs throughout Southern Wisconsin. Funds raised directly support Blessings in a Backpack’s mission to provide hunger-free weekends for thousands of children facing food insecurity across the region.

More than a celebration, Bridge the Gap is a call to action—uniting the community to bridge the gap between hunger and hope, helping children arrive at school on Monday nourished, ready to learn, and prepared to succeed. Every dollar raised helps provide essential weekend meals that support the health, well-being, and academic success of local students.
