We need some help with organization! Before we purchase anything we thought we'd check and see if anyone had a storage shelf or table they could donate. Let us know if you something! ❤️

Backpack Buddies begins this week because hunger does not stop on weekends! We are supporting identified students at Hobgood Charter School. Each Friday a gallon sized ziplock bag of pre-packaged, ready to eat food will be slipped into the Backpack of who may need some nutrition. We are looking for volunteers to pack the bags on Wednesdays, to donate funds, or to donate food. If you are interested, post below! God bless!

Well, we have closed the books on our first year of Backpack Buddies! We were honored to be able to serve 14 students each week at Hobgood Charter School. The generosity of our neighbors and businesses made it possible to provide the students a gallon ziplock bag of food to slip into their Backpack each Friday. They received milk, juice, fruit, a microwave meal, and a note of encouragement each week. Other items included cereal, peanut butter, nabs, cookies, and pop tarts to name a few. We will beginning accepting cash donations made payable to Hobgood Methodist Church now for next year. We will accept food donations in August (more on that later). If you are interested in packing one week, let us know.

As the school year is drawing to and end, we will send double bags home the last week. I was thinking of packing them in cute Natural Life bags that are currently on sale for $2 each. Thoughts? I need to act fast.
