WEEKEND BACKPACK PROGRAM
The Lake Side Church cares about our community. That’s why we are involved in the weekend BackPack program which provides chronically hungry children with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations. Children at risk of weekend hunger receive a bag of food that is child-friendly, nutritious, nonperishable and easy to eat.
By partnering with local schools, the BackPack initiative food bags are distributed every Friday and on the last day before a holiday. Each BackPack provides enough food that a child can easily assemble into six healthy meals. This helps ensure that children will have food over the weekend and return to school on Monday ready to learn.
Our next event is Thursday, January 31, 2017 beginning at 9 A.M. located at the back of 4860 Rucker Rd, Moneta, Virginia 24121.
