Serving the Community with the Love of God since 1986
Did you know that more than 787 school
children returned to class last fall better
equipped to succeed because of your support?
School is out, and we are already preparing
for our Back 2 School Backpack Drive. Each year,
with the help of our community, Twin Lakes Food
Bank prepares children for their first day of school
with new backpacks, school supplies and shoes.
Last year our community came together and
helped over 787 children. This year we anticipate
that we will help over 850.
Many of us remember going to the store
with our parents and picking out a brand new
backpack and supplies for the school year. We see
many parents “food insecure” not knowing where
their next meal will come from. They juggle with
the question to pay utility bills on time or to buy
groceries. They just don’t have the money to buy
the supplies the kids need to start the school year.
Together we will help our kids return to school
with basic supplies they need to succeed.
Now through JULY 25th we are collecting
new backpacks and school supplies for children
ages Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade for the
2013-14 academic years.
“I think my backpack’s pretty cool & my favorite
color. My mom is happier now. I am going to get
good grades.” Noah 5th Grader
