Baytown Backpack Buddies

Baytown Backpack Buddies Non-Profit Children's Organization This program is available to the school district at no cost.

With goals of helping to eliminate these life-changing effects of the children in Baytown, Backpack Buddies supplies participating schools in Goose Creek CISD with nutritious, child-friendly, self-serve food designed to fill a backpack and feed a child over the weekend. The backpacks are filled with child-friendly foods that are both nutritious and require little to no preparation, such as: cereal

, shelf stable milk, granola bars, cereal bars, cheese crackers, peanut butter crackers, little sausages, baked beans, spaghettios, ravioli, canned soup, chili, fruit cups, dried fruit, pudding cups, trail mix, fruit roll-ups, juice, etc. Funding comes from outside sources: private, corporate and governmental grants. By implementing Backpack Buddies into GCCISD, we are able to reach our underserved youth as well as promote community awareness of the rising poverty levels in Baytown. Through our partnership, we’ve impacted the lives of children and provided the nutrition they need to learn, grow, play and live healthier lives.

***Request For Donated Items - PLEASE SHARE***

This Sunday will be a special time of giving to our Backpack Buddy families! Elementary students (Baytown & Highlands) who participate in our program (over 450) have been invited to receive a Christmas gift card, plus any other donated items that our supporters are able to contribute.

If you are able to donate any of the following (gently used or new) items, these families will greatly benefit! Items needed are:

- coats & clothing (men, women, youth, children, toddler, infant)
- books (all levels), craft items, crayons
- toys (all ages)
- diapers, wipes (all sizes)

Items can be dropped off at the San Jacinto Mall Community Room (near JC Penney) this Saturday, December 20th, from 11:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Last year was our first year to set up a room full of donated items to let parents and children walk through and take items their families needed. It was such a huge blessing! Many hugs and even tears as it was hard for them to believe that perfect strangers can care so much for others!

Thank you for taking the time to look through your bookshelves, toy boxes and closets to see what you may be able to contribute this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

This Sunday, we will be helping 140 of GCCISD's most needy families. These families were nominated by school faculty who completed and turned in nomination forms to us. For obvious reasons, we can't share all the details, but we can share that it's devastating to see how many families are struggling in our own backyard. So many grandparents who have taken custody of their children, many others displaced living with friends or relatives, some suffering from terminal illnesses, an overwhelming amount of parents who are out of work and many single mothers doing their best as an army of one. Please remember them in your prayers!

Thank you to those who have already sent us private messages! We are looking forward to posting stories of those you will be helping. Stay Tuned! (If you don't know what we're talking about...check our last post and get involved).
