YOUR SUPPORT!
For several years now our church has been actively collecting food items for the Union Primary School weekend Back Pack Food program. We did not start this program. Teachers from the school, several years ago, noticed children coming in on Monday morning hungry. They came up with the idea of sending some a bag of simple to serve food items with children each Friday. Through the years, the program has grown to the point that more than 80 children currently take one of these food bags home.
As a single church, we are not able to supply enough food to feed that many children. In the fall of 2017, our church reached out to the churches of our community and we have formed a coalition of churches and community groups that now supply, on a monthly basis, a standardized set of food items for this program. Each participating groups collects a different item each month. The school receives a standardized supply each month and the children have food for the weekend.
Here is the Union Primary School Food List for 2018 that is to be collected by our Church:
Jan—Pop Tarts
Feb—Nabs/Chips
Mar—Microwave Popcorn
Apr--Ramen Noodles
May-Chef Boy Ardee
Jun—Granola Bars/Raisins
Jul —Single Serve Fruit
Aug--Breakfast Cereal
Sep—Macaroni
Oct—Canned Soup
Nov—Juice Boxes
Dec—Canned Meat
Peanut Butter — May & November
If you would like to participate in this program, then simply bring your food items to church and place them at the altar rail. We will take the items to the school.
