Backpack Program Updates

“Stuffing” Day
Our annual Backpack Stuffing Day will take place on Sunday July 12. Stick around after worship and join us in the Fellowship Hall as we stuff the backpacks with school supplies ahead of our August 8 distribution event. Many hands are needed to make this a success!
Unloading Help
Backpack supplies will be delivered sometime between June 30 and July 2, and we’ll need helping hands to unload the deliveries! When the items arrive, we’ll post a message on our Facebook page to call for unloading help.

Trail Mix Donations for Camp
Each summer, Pastor Candy serves as a co-director of the “My Grown-Up & Me” camp at Pocono Plateau. One of our activities on the final night of camp is a Make-Your-Own Trail Mix station. Donations are needed to make this activity possible! Click here to view a list of requested items, or to sign up to donate. Financial donations are also welcome! All donations are due by Tuesday July 7. Thank you for making camp an even more special experience!
Summer Harvest Food Drive
This summer, we have the opportunity to help neighbors who are hungry or underresourced… by participating in the Summer Harvest Food Drive! Each week throughout the month of July, we will be collecting specific food and personal items. Summer Harvest volunteers will pick up these items and distribute them to local food pantries.
- July 5: granola bars, shampoo & conditioner
- July 12: peanut butter & jelly, toothpaste
- July 19: applesauce, diapers & baby wipes
- July 26: canned soups, laundry detergent
Please bring your donation items to church on the designated Sundays and place them in the marked containers. (Please check expiration dates before you drop them off!) For more information, contact the church office.
Backpack Program: SNU Sorting
What’s SNU? It stands for “socks and underwear,” and it’s a key part of our annual “We Got Your Back” backpack outreach program! Each summer, when we distribute backpacks and school supplies, we also include packages of new socks and underwear. These items are back-to-school essentials just as much as backpacks and pencils!
Our Backpack Team will spend the next several weeks unpacking boxes, sorting supplies, and repackaging socks and underwear ahead of our annual event in August. From June 22 to July 27, join them on any Monday evening from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to help in this effort. For more information, please contact our Backpack Team.
