Food for Others Power Pack Program - Food Drive - April 2 - May 7

Did you know that many kids in our area rely on school meal programs but go hungry on weekends when school isn’t in session? The High School Leadership Team is collecting food items to create "Power Pack" meal kits for Food For Others, a food bank that ensures these kids do not go hungry on the weekends.

From April 2 to May 7, you’ll see specially-marked collection boxes near entrances of Redeemer to receive donations. If you prefer to make a monetary donation please place it in the collection plate and write “Food for Others” on your donation. Thank you!
