This is the time that the Buddy Backpack program is organizing for another successful year. This is a chance for our church family to come together and help make sure that students have food for over the weekend. This program is designed to provide children in needy households with food for the weekend when the school meals are not available and works with each school system to identify the children. Donations could include oatmeal, tuna, canned beef stew, fruit cups, cereal, breakfast bars, juices etc.; Foods that are nourishing and that little fingers can
handle.

Our St. Thomas family has been so generous in the past and I pray for the same support again this year. Monetary donations are also accepted and checks can be made out to First United Methodist Church. Let us keep our students fed. The Backpack bucket will be in the east foyer. The donations will be taken to the First United Methodist Church. Thanks so much! - Judi Matsuba
