Help Us Support Backpack Ministry

Dear Lower School Parents,

We are excited to be part of The Backpack Ministry again this year. This ministry provides food to hungry children.

FPD has adopted over 60 students at Rosa Taylor Elementary School who were identified by their principal and school counselor as children who have very little to eat when not at school.

Each week, our elementary and middle school students have the opportunity to pack food bags in their classrooms. Some of our high school students, along with FPD’s Community Service Director, Holly Scott, & FPD’s Art Teacher, Stephanie Garrison, deliver the “backpacks” to these students every Wednesday for families to pick up.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Would you consider buying some of the items listed below when you go to the grocery store? The food will go directly to our FPD Backpack Pantry and will help fill our weekly bags.

Items can be dropped off in the Elementary or Preschool office areas.

If you have questions, please contact

Stephanie Garrison @ stephanie.garrison@fpdmacon.org or

Holly Scott @ holly.scott@fpdmacon.org

We are so grateful for your continued partnership!

Sincerely,

The Backpack Committee
