WBCS Backpack Program!
If you happened to take a look at the calendar for this month, you might have noticed the special offering will be going to support the BackPack program. If you're not familiar with what it entails, here's a little more information.
There are children in America (including West Branch) who rely on resources such as free or reduced-priced school lunch during the school year.
The BackPack Program is designed to meet the needs of hungry children at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations.
The money donated helps fill backpacks with food that children take home on weekends. The
food is child-friendly, nonperishable and easily consumed.
Backpacks are discreetly distributed to children on the last day before the weekend or holiday vacations. West Branch Friends supports this program for our school children following Jesus words from Matthew 25:35:
“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.”
With the continuing increases in food, this program is more important than ever before, and WB Friends are happy to support it.
