Hermine Bernstein, program coordinator for the Frederick chapter of Blessings in a Backpack, sat down with host Colin McGuire and News-Post reporter Nancy Lavin to talk about her expansion goals, program details and other need-to-knows such as her favorite pizza joint and the fifth-grade teacher who inspired her own teaching career.

Blessings in a Backpack is a national organization that provides meals to students in need on weekends and other times when they will not get food through school lunch programs.
