Our church is partnering with the Long Beach School District to begin a Backpack Buddy Program to feed children in need every weekend.  We will be sending home food bags from school on Fridays. 

Our Backpack Buddy packing schedule is:
Feb.15, 10:30 am
Feb.21, 6 pm
Feb.29, 10:30 am

To support this program, we are accepting monetary and food donations.  All food donations must be individually wrapped or individual servings.  Items needed include: applesauce, animal crackers, breakfast bar, chicken soup cans, easy mac (microwavable packets), fruit cups, goldfish, granola bars, gummie packs, juice boxes, oatmeal, peanut butter crackers, pudding cups, spagettios cans, tuna kit (from Sams).  A collection box as well as a complete list of food items needed is located in the narthex.

You can contact Lori Cripple if you would like to help or if you have any questions.
