Appalachian Backpacks

The Ladies of Light will collect filled backpacks for the Appalachian Christmas Outreach as their fall mission project. This project seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of families in the Appalachian area.  You may donate a filled backpack, money to purchase items, or collect items throughout the year and join us to pack them at our annual packing party.

A flyer with detailed packing instructions is below. We know our lovely ladies are very generous but please only include exactly what is on the list. We have been asked to not include any additional items so that all children feel special. Our Ladies of Light missions sewing group has made hats and scarves for each backpack. You will not need to supply those items.

Please bring your filled backpacks to the church by October 4. Backpacks may be placed by the missions basket in the Worship Center Lobby and Fellowship Hall.

If you donate money for this project, please make a check to FBCNMB and note “Appalachian” on the memo line.
