This a true statement:

     One kid said, “You aren't a teacher. Why do you help so much?” I said, “Because I love you, and to love you, I don't have to be a teacher do I?”

     He hugged me and said, “No -- but most people don't care that don't have to.” I cried...

     Thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to feed these children and show them that Gods people do care, you all make this mission a blessing to so many, what better way to get out.

God’s Love and His Word. Showing and telling, I believe this is his way of letting other know about his love for them.

 

The Food Backpack Program

     Childhood hunger is a silent epidemic that affects nearly 1 in 4 children. For the poorest school-age

children, Friday night begins the two day weekend when the school lunch programs are not available

and the children have little or nothing to eat. These children come back to school on Mondays, famished and weak, thinking only of the free meal that will come at breakfast and/or lunchtime.

     The Food Backpack Program provides food to

children for use on days when meals are not available, typically weekends and school breaks.
