Feed Our Kids was started by a few moms in conjunction with GRACE to provide lunches to children who are on free or reduced lunch programs during the school year. Every week of summer break, different organizations provide lunch and some recreation time to children in three apartment complexes in the Grapevine/Colleyville school district. Our church participates for one week of the summer.
Feed Our Kids 2010: July 12-16
It is time to get ready to Feed Our Kids! Our church will be serving lunches to 400 children every day the week of July 12-16 as part of the local Feed Our Kids program. Every week of the summer, Feed Our Kids provides lunch to over 400 children a day. These children are on free or reduced lunch during the school year. There are opportunities to make and serve lunches, to donate food for those lunches, and to help coordinate. See Check-In in this Sunday's bulletin to volunteer. A table will be set up outside the sanctuary for donations on June 27, July 4 and July 11.
Fresh Fruit Offering - July 11
Sunday, July 11, there will be a Fresh Fruit offering in support of Feed Our Kids. Please bring any type of Fresh Fruit and place it in the baskets on the table in the sanctuary foyer. The fruit will be used the following week as our church feeds 400 children a day during Feed Our Kids.
Feed Our Kids – July 12-16.
Donations
Visit the Donation Station in the Sanctuary Foyer (both campuses) to find out what donations are still needed. We need everything from peanut butter and jelly to snack-size chips, pretzels, goldfish and granola bars. Cash donations are also needed to help purchase perishable items.
Volunteers
We need volunteers to help assemble lunches at 10:30 each morning of Feed Our Kids. And we need people to help deliver the lunches and play with the kids. You can do either or both any day of the week. Sign up on Check-In online or in this Sunday's bulletin.
Thanks for helping with this wonderful local mission. It could be the best week of your summer! Questions? Contact Deb Scheiwe at debscheiwe@verizon.net or 817-412-1762.
