“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
Jesus is calling us to action, and Backpack Manna is one of many ways in which our congregants and church neighbors are answering that call. The Backpack Manna ministry provides food to supplement the weekend diets of students in need at Oakland, Springfield, and Drayton Hall Elementary Schools. The estimated cost per week is $500. You can help with a monetary donation or by restocking our shelves with the specific items listed below.
Thank you to all who make this work possible!
