In this week's episode of The Lou Review podcast, meet Kim Holsclaw. Kim is the marketing director of the Louisville Chapter of Blessings in a Backpack. Started here locally, Blessings in a Backpack has become a well-known, national organization that provides school children with nutritious food to take home for the weekend.
Later this week, Celebrity Chefs for Blessings in a Backpack – Pack the Sack 2023 is scheduled for March 11 at The Olmsted, and this year the annual fundraiser is better than ever. Those who purchase tickets can expect world-class food from Food Network stars Darnell “SuperChef” Ferguson and Damaris Phillips, plus the winner of Best Baker in America, Jackie Joseph.
During the event, guests can mix and mingle with the chefs throughout the night. Attendees can also participate in live and silent auctions, including a Bourbon Pull and Wheel of Chance that help fundraise for the Blessings in a Backpack - Louisville Chapter.
Funds raised during the event will be used to provide nutritional food to school-aged children in Louisville – some who may otherwise not eat until they return to school on Monday.
