"... for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’" -Matthew 25:35-40

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 11:15am 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. You can volunteer to help through the Signup Genius links below: Bag Packing School Delivery |
