The Backpack Buddies is an anonymous food program for elementary children at the local school. Mounds United Methodist Church along with the Christian Church, Baptist Church and Assurance Church provide funds for the program along with a grant from East Central Electric.
Each week the church sends a bag of easy to fix food items for underprivileged kids. The school provided the number of students that the churches need to make bags for, which are then delivered to the school where they are discreetly delivered to students.
Backpack Buddies volunteers meet each Thursday at 9:30AM. at the Methodist Church, during the school term to bag the items for the students.
Everyone is welcome to participate in this great community service.
