Operation BackPack

Operation Backpack provides weekly kid-friendly, shelf-stable food to get students in need through the weekend when school meals are not available. Our church has provided backpacks to Kirkwood Elementary for over 20 years. Brenda Albright has been instrumental in keeping this partnership operational.  25 prepackaged grocery bags are delivered to Kirkwood Elementary at 9:00 on Friday mornings. Volunteers to help with transporting backpacks to the school are always welcome. Contact Brenda Albright at iaalbright@aol.com.
