Backpack Program
We have a program for our children called the Backpack program. The children come to the mission after school on Fridays to receive 4 meals for the weekend, plus extra snacks. In 2010, we gave the children 16,496 weekend meals. Donations of items for this program are always welcome. Things like applesauce and fruit cups, pop tarts, spaghettio's or ravioli, canned soup, granola bars, and fresh fruit items. There are generally around 120 children who come weekly. Please call the mission if you have questions about this important program.
