food pantry
food backpack program
We have joined with the staff of Woodrow Cummins Elementary School in assisting with their backpack program. The backpack program is used to send food items home with kids to make sure they have food to eat. The school counselor has sent the below list of items they need to make the backpacks. If you would like to contribute to this mission, please place your donations in the Kingdom Kids box by the entry door of the fellowship hall at any time. We will continue this mission the entire school year.
