Thanks in advance for your support!

Backpack Buddies Volunteer Opportunities
Please consider supporting the Backpack Buddies program by volunteering to help with packing or school deliveries.  Packing bags of food takes place in the St. David's Annex each Sunday, begins at 12:30pm and usually takes less than an hour depending on the number or volunteers.  Individuals, families and groups are welcome to help. 
Food deliveries to each school occur during the week and take about an hour.  It includes picking up bins of food bags from the church, dropping them off at the school and returning empty bins to the church.  This usually takes about an hour for one school, ninety minutes if you choose to deliver to all three.
