Blessings in a Backpack
SUMMER PROGRAM!
Hello from Blessings in a Backpack! We are so excited to announce that we will continue throughout the whole summer!
Blessing in a Backpack is a food program meant to help school-aged children with extra food over the weekend. Food items are dry goods such as: pasta and sauce, rice, dried beans, pancake mix and syrup, canned goods (fruits and vegetables, canned ravioli and soups), cereal, canned chicken or tuna, granola bars, fruit snacks, chocolate milk, etc. Usually a breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruit, vegetable, snack and dessert item are in each bag. And for this summer program, we’re doubling up, and then some, as we’re only doing pick-ups twice a month.
Bags will be available for pick-up on the dates below at the Gathering Church. Message Shinon Powers at with the word SUMMER and give the number of children in your family who will need bags and please provide a last name. If you are unable to pick-up we can deliver, but if you are able to pick-up please do, this will help keep the amount of deliveries at a manageable number.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, comments, concerns, or input. This service is no cost to you and requires no qualifications. Just a text will do!
Bag pick-up dates will be twice a month during the summer at:
The Gathering Church
805 E Richards St
Douglas, Wyoming.
June 4th July 24th
June 26th August 7"
July 10h TBD
Pick up time is from 4:30 to 5:30 PM!
