| Backpacks
for School Children The
members of Valley View UMC are providing backpacks with imperishable
food each week during the school year for elementary children who
would have no food to eat on the weekends.
These backpacks go
to students in schools in the communities of Hernandez, San Juan,
and Chimayo. Various family conditions have created the need for
helping these children have food during the weekends. The school
lunch programs provide meals during the school week.
This new school year
we will be starting with 20 backpacks a week. This program has been
a great success because of all the help from the members of Valley
View UMC.
If you would like to
contribute to the backpack ministry, please bring:
- Canned meat
- Granola bars
- Breakfast bars
- Juice
- Water
- Individual servings of
- Fruit
- Chips
- Cookies
- Trail mix
- Cereal
- Peanuts
- Crackers
- Apple sauce
