BACKPACK TO
SCHOOL 2025!
It is year 15 of teaming up with our ministry partners and help make a huge impact on their local communities by providing kids with supplies that they need in order to attend school. We partner with several churches in the NJ/Philadelphia area to help meet the very real needs of the community with the hopes of helping our partner churches spread the hope of the Gospel of Jesus. We're in need of many volunteers of all ages to help make this year a huge success! Everything from shopping, packing, organizing, coloring, and even some muscle!
PREP DAYS
Join us to help with various work day jobs including: backpack unpackaging/tagging, card coloring, bookmark assembly, and shoe/clothing sorting/tagging! (Jobs will vary by work day) ALL AGES WELCOME! Invite friends and neighbors for a fun way to serve and meet people! You can serve as many times as you'd like.
On Set Up and Truck Packing days we'll need a variety of people and different help from logistics to physical lifting.
