Backpack Buddies at Holy Nativity

Each week, Holy Nativity packs weekend food for ~100 local students who might otherwise go hungry. Volunteers of all ages rotate monthly to pack and deliver the bags—perfect for families, youth, and small groups. To help or learn more, contact Marla Churchill or Barbara Knowles.

Please bring food donations to the collection cart by the sanctuary doors.
