St. Andrew’s Backpack Program

The Backpack Program* helps alleviate childhood hunger by providing children with nutritious and easy to prepare foods at times when other resources are not available, like on weekends and over short vacations.  In our community, Morningside Elementaryis in great need for nutritious foods for their students. Please consider giving to the Backpack Program by contributing any of the following items:

Chicken noodle or Vegetable soup

Canned Spaghetti-o’s, ravioli or chili

 Small canned Vegetables/veggie cups

Gift cards to Walmart or Kroger Stores

Beginning in May, a box will be available in the Social Hall for the collection of these items

We are also looking for help in preparing the bags of food to go home with the children.  If you would like to help and are available on Thursday afternoons at 3pm, please call Ellen Carroll at 774-4850.

*The Pocket Change boxes at the church entrances help support this program
