OUR VOLUNTEERS

BackPack Blessings is able to provide so much love and nourishment to children in our community because of the amazing volunteers who graciously give of their time and talents.
To fulfill our mission each week, we need over 50 volunteers. We give a BIG thank you to those who have served so faithfully over the past 14 years. We are blessed to walk the halls of Fair Oaks with you and deliver backpacks to students while spreading God's love. |
