BACK PACK BUDDY PROGRAM:

Louise Phillips explained a new program designed help children in the Jefferson I.S.D. with back packs filled with nutritional food items. Our church will be working with FUMC in Jefferson. All back packs will be donated by the East Texas Food Bank. Our UMW and MIRIAM'S CIRCLE are collecting snack foods for these back packs which will be taken to FUMC, Jefferson, to be filled.

These back packs will be filled each Friday at school and given to needy children.
This will begin the 1st Friday in September. Please search your heart and do what you can to help. There is a list of things in need and money can also be donated and we will purchase the items. If you wish, you can donate $144 and it will fill a child's back pack for the entire school year. There is a box in the foryer for you to drop off your snacks. This is a very good program and will help so many children who often go hungry. In a country as rich as ours it is a disgrace that we have people who go to bed hungry, especially children. Give what you can and GOD will richly bless you for your efforts.
