These children who live right at our back door do not have food to eat over the weekends. Last year we supplied food for 42 children every week of the school year. Our children and youth will pack the items and pray over them; then the bags will be taken to the school. A bag that is discretely placed in a child’s own backpack on Fridays will provide the child food to eat over the weekend. These young children must fend for themselves, so PLEASE buy “Kid Friendly Foods.” The items are broken down into 4 food groups and each child will get 2 items per group. Monetary donations are also welcomed. Grain Group Instant Oatmeal Fruit and Grain Bars Protein Group Peanut Butter Crackers Beef Ravioli (or similar) Dairy Group Pudding Cups Easy Mac & Cheese Fruit/Veggie Group Applesauce Fruit Cups “I was hungry and you fed me.” Matthew 25:35 Access Life Expo The Access Life Expo is Saturday, August 17 from 10am to 2pm.
