It’s Giving Tuesday! This year, we hope you will consider making a gift to the Backpack Ministry to sponsor a student.

The food that is purchased goes directly to students in the community that struggle with food insecurity each week.

We appreciate all the generosity in making sure our community is well loved!

We had a great time this morning- enjoying spring break, serving others, and connecting with our community - while packing backpack bags with the residents of Mira at Maumelle.
Thank you so much for all the help for our students and the wonderful time together in fellowship.
