BACKPACK BUDDIES

Help us support 33 local elementary school children in the 2025-2026 school year!

As the new school year begins, we urgently need food donations for our Backpack Buddies ministry. Our current food supply will run out soon, and we depend on your support to keep this program going!

  • Our Backpack Buddies program helps provide weekend meals for local children in need. Each weekend bag includes 2 breakfast items, 2 lunch items, 2 fruit cups, and a variety of snacks. You can make a difference by donating shelf-stable food items from the list below.

    High-Priority Items

    These items are most needed and most frequently used:

    • Canned Soup

    • Top Ramen

    • Mac ‘n’ Cheese

    • Canned Vegetables

    • Canned Fruit

    • Single-Serve Cereal

    • Fruit Snacks

    • Granola Bars

    Other Acceptable Items

    • Canned Ravioli or Any Canned Pasta

    • Individual Grits or Oatmeal Packs

    Please avoid sending Little Debbie–type snacks or other soft pastries, as they tend to get crushed in the bags.

    Important: All donated items must be within their best-by date.

    Thank you for supporting this vital ministry and helping us feed children in our community!
