Weekend Backpack Meals

There are many children in our community who face hunger on a daily basis. While at school, these children are fed a nutritious breakfast and lunch, but what about when they go home?  This is where our Weekend Backpack Meal Ministry comes in. This ministry gives a child 6 meals and 2 snacks each weekend throughout the school year.  39 meals are delivered to 4 campuses every Thursday morning!  Leigh Welch's special needs students do the packing for us.
