When it comes to serving others, our participants excel! 💛💙
Through Backpack Buddies, our participants have an opportunity to give back to the community by packing food bags for families in need. We are grateful to partner with Mid-Day Rotary Club, who provides the supplies to make this outreach possible. Throughout the year, volunteer teams also join us to help pack bags and serve alongside our participants.
Recently, the Mid-Day Rotary Club of Garner joined us for a packing day, and we were so glad to have them serve alongside us!
Chris, an instructor at ATS, shared why Backpack Buddies is such a meaningful part of our program:
“Backpack Buddies is, to me, one of my favorite activities at Able to Serve. It gives us an opportunity nearly every week out of the year to provide outreach to our community and, along with our Rotary Club, provide significant impact to families in need. It allows the core values of our program to shine on others.”
We are proud of our participants for the joy they bring to serving others and grateful for the community partners and volunteers who make opportunities like Backpack Buddies possible! We also would like to thank Lord of Life Lutheran Church for providing the space to prepare the bags!
