The Backpack Ministry we help with through Hope, Inc. is going strong. Hundreds of bags of weekend food are packed and distributed through the local schools each Friday. Sunny Hills is one of many community churches, clubs, and civic groups that work together to ensure no child in our county must go hungry during the weekend.
Those who help with the ministry find lots of joy in serving. It’s easy work, made all the more fun by the positive spirit of those who we work along side of. When we each do our little part, suddenly “little” can get pretty big.
Thanks to (from left in photo) Anita, Jeremy, Lisa, and Mark for helping in March. Some of our helping team couldn’t be there this month but are regulars each “third Wednesday” of the month.
If you would like to help with this ministry just “show up” at 6:00 p.m. any third Wednesday and pack with us at the warehouse located between Thompson Tire and Smokey’s BBQ in Wytheville. If the third Wednesday slot doesn’t work for you, call Mike Pugh at Hope, Inc. at (276) 228-6280. Let’s serve together, it really does promote hope in the lives of hungry families.
