School starts soon, and that means it’s time to kick off our school programs at Warner and Tates Creek Elementary schools.  We will be looking for willing mentors, tutors, classroom volunteers and encouragement team members soon.  

Here's a great thought from Nancy, who helps us with getting the food into the schools. This ministry makes a huge impact in these kids' lives. Stay tuned into what we're doing.

 
Some big news is that we’ve made changes to this year’s food program - so here’s the scoop:

• This year we are NOT collecting school supplies.
• This year we are NOT collecting new backpacks – instead we’ll be purchasing smaller, lightweight drawstring bags for all the kids in the program.
• We ARE collecting food!  We expect to have even more children in our food program this year than in years past, so we need food donations to get the year off to a great start.  We’ve made a few changes to the food list and will be handing out new food lists at Connection Point the weekends of August 14/15 and 21/22.  Stay tuned!
• We ARE adding a new opportunity to show kids love with our food program… so, start praying about being one of our Backpack Buddies!  More details to come here on the website and the weekends of August 14/15 and 21/22.
