Backpack Ministry to Northside Elementary Children
What is a backpack ministry? This ministry provides a backpack of food weekly for the children of Northside Elementary School that are served by the school’s “free or reduced breakfast and lunch program.” The backpacks provide meals for the weekends when the children cannot receive a school lunch. Often these children go hungry over the weekends or times of school breaks. This is a mission project right here in our community that involves Midway area children who are hungry.
