Y HEALTHY BACKPACK Packing Parties

Seven groups from within our church (i.e. Youth, Deacons, Session, Mission, etc.) have scheduled backpacking parties with the YMCA Healthy Backpack program.  Justin Cowie, senior at GHS, met with church groups to inform and invite them to participate.  He then coordinated all the "packing parties."  This program feeds children identified by their schools as having food insecurities.  Food is sent home with nearly 500 students, from 23 schools, every weekend.  We are grateful to Justin, the people volunteering, and this important program in our community.
