Backpack Buddies

Backpack Buddies

From January through May, the Mission Kids are again sponsoring a church-wide mission project for the Backpack Buddies program.

* Donate requested foods and place them on the Backpack Buddies Table in the Fellowship Hall.

Collected items are delivered to the InterFaith Food Shuttle after the third Sunday of the month, but items may be brought at any time.
