Backpack Outreach
Working together we can stop hunger.
Our Backpack outreach works with other churches and individuals to help provide food for children at one of the local schools for the weekend. We are gradually expanding it to our community.
How can I help?
We are looking for volunteers to fill a box, provided, with food items that are placed in the backpacks weekly. Boxes are available for pickup at church. We ask that you fill the boxes and bring them to church.
