How did blessings in a backpack start?

I'm curious to know, how did the organization known as 'Blessings in a Backpack' actually get started? Was it a single individual's vision, or was it a collective effort? What inspired the founders to embark on this mission of providing food for children in need during weekends and holidays? I'm eager to learn more about the origins of this noble initiative and the challenges they faced in the beginning.
