Backpack Packing, November 8th, 2016

12/9/2016

 
Our wonderful Backpack volunteers met Thursday morning to prepare the packs that we distribute to children each month. St. James, along with 4 other area churches, sponsors Davenport Elementary School. This month, we packed for 60 students. Normally, each child gets one bag, but because Christmas break is coming up we made an extra pack per student for a total of 120. 

The menu was cornflakes and oatmeal, canned chicken breast, canned fruit, canned vegetables, soup, dried beans, fruit drinks, prepared skillet meals, and a special treat for Christmas: ham.

Thank you to Hank and Gloria who work so hard to create a solid meal on a budget! And thank you to everyone who donates to and volunteers for this program. Davenport is right across the street from St. James, so Backpack is a wonderful way for us to directly help those in need, especially children.
