We packed bags on May 15. It was our last day this school year. Our photo was too blurry to print, but our faithfuls showed up as usual. See you in September!

Because schools were on Easter holiday, we did not pack bags in April.

Backpack Feeding Program
Once again our faithful volunteers showed up to pack lunches for school children in Monongalia County. It takes 15 bags to fill a container. With this group, it took only one pass to do the job. The folks at Scott's Run need 54 containers to serve all the children eligible for this program, so we do our part. Go, team!

Since schools were closed, we did not pack bags in February.

After the holidays, we're back to our regular schedule - every third Wednesday of the month. Our faithful group showed up again to fill the backpacks with weekend meals for area school children.

Backpack Feeding Program
Retirees gathered early to pack food bags in anticipation of the school closing for the holiday. With a group this size, it didn't take long and it was good to know that the children would have food for the long holiday. What a turnout! Thanks team.

Packing backpacks was moved to Tuesday this month in order to be ready for the Thanksgiving distribution. Our group showed up in force as usual and we are thankful for them!

Our group keeps growing in support of our volunteer effort. With this group, we got the task done in no time. And remember: "Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." (James Matthew Barrie)

The backpack feeding program started up again for the new school year. With a group this size, it only took one pass along the tables to fill a container. Many hands do make light work. Thanks team!
