Operation Backpack
Operation Backpack serves children in our own community by providing nutritious food over weekends during the school year. We have had wonderful support over the years, but now we need more volunteers. We are looking to fill some very necessary positions:
Food Purchaser- We are blessed to receive generous amounts of food and monetary donations, and sometimes need to purchase cases/boxes of food from Sam’s or Costco to fill the gap in between food drives. We keep a close eye on stock and will give advanced notice on amounts and types of food needed.
Scheduler- organize and recruit weekly volunteers to pack the bags with food so they are ready for delivery to local schools. You will also schedule volunteers for milk/cereal pickups at the food bank.
Packers- This is a great activity for families or small groups. The food is already counted and sorted and it just needs to be placed into bags and then put in tubs for delivery to the elementary schools.
For more information on these opportunities to serve please reach out to Karen Loechner at MissKarenPC@outlook.com or text her at 314-303-2944.
Pre-Service Music this Sunday, August 2 will begin at 8:45am. Cadence Quartet will bless us with beautiful music! Please join us!
