We love Thursdays! Smiles on our team’s faces, and a regular “Circle Time” where we encourage each other and pray together for the families receiving this food!

We are thankful for Heather and everyone who serves in this ministry!

“Serving in We’ve Got Your BackPacks is special and amazing for me because my family and I received backpacks regularly through this program for a couple of years. I am happy to be able to give back my time for this program and serve the community through it!”

- Heather

Every Thursday a team of volunteers sends out 70+ backpacks full of fresh groceries to local schools to be distributed to students that come from families in need. Now in its third year, We’ve Got Your BackPacks has sent out nearly $200,000 worth of groceries into our community. This has produced great partnerships with local schools and makes a significant difference in the lives of families, allowing them to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, access enough food for the weekends, and even get caught up on bills!

It’s plenty cold out there today, but these backpacks are on the road to our partner schools!

Many families have tough choices to make this time of year between heat for these cold days or food for their tables. Our goal is to help with that!

If you’d like to hear more about how you or your business can help us put fresh produce and groceries food in the hands of families in need each weekend, send us a message!
