BACKPACK BUDDIES

The Kind will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40

What is Backpack Buddies?

It is a ministry of Wesley that provides food items to students over weekends and holidays when school lunches and breakfasts are not available. 

Each child served receives:

A backpack each Friday with (2) single servings of breakfast, snack, meat, vegetables, pasta/rice, fruit, and juice. Additional items are provided for families over long breaks. 

What can go in the bags?

Non-perishable SINGLE SERVING items that are not too heavy for children to carry when bags are full and items that cannot be crushed easily. 

What can NOT go in the bags?

Perishables, large multi-serving items, heavy items, foods that will be easily crushed, canned goods (except for SPAM and Vienna sausages).

How can I help?
