Backpack Ministry

This Ministry identifies children in school who go home on the weekend to a home with little or no food. We partner with guidance counselors, teachers and social workers to identify these children, and then we fill up backpacks with food in them each week on Wednesday night and distribute them on Fridays to the schools at a cost of approximately $5.00 per child per week.

We currently serve Harnett Primary, Wayne Avenue Elementary, and Dunn Middle Schools and serve 80 children between the three schools. This is another ministry that is supported by our church and community through donations and volunteers, both of which are always welcome
