The Backpack Buddy Program is running again in Room 2 at St. John’s Lutheran Church!

CLICK HERE to access the Volunteer Sign-up Genius where you can volunteer for a quick 1 to 1.5 hour commitment help pack food or drive the totes of food to Sanford Elementary School, Headstart program.   We are excited to give a backpack filled with food provided by the Midland County Emergency Food Pantry Network to children who have limited access to food during weekends.

  • Distribution takes place every other week on Wednesdays at 9:30 am
  • We will be packing food into 60 plastic bags, two each for about 30 children
  • Drop off at the school in Sanford has developed a process that allows us to back up to the gym door and they will bring cart and offload our cars so that we do not have to enter the school

Our volunteers have been fantastic and we look forward to working together again.  Please prayerfully consider helping with this program.  The program is being organized by Sharon Gallihugh.  God Bless You!
