Backpack Food Ministry

1 in 6 people in Missouri struggle with food insecurity…

 

1 in 6 people in our community struggle with food insecurity. This means they do not know where their next meal will come from. We have an opportunity to help battle this in our community. Pattonville School District has asked us to help with their backpack ministry to their students. These backpacks contain 3 dinners, 2 breakfasts and 2 lunches for the student. Many more students need food for the weekend. We can help meet that need.

Listed below are suggested food items. Please bring these items to church each Sunday so they can be taken to the school each week. This is not a one time donation, let’s make it a habit to bring food items each Sunday so we can help students each weekend with food.  Please do not bring any food in glass jars.
