In addition, each child will walk away with a specially prepared backpack filled with goodies to help gear them up for summer fun.

It doesn’t matter whether you can spend a few hours or the entire day; every little bit helps. The organizers are encouraging people to embody the essence of being the “hands and feet of Christ” in our community, spreading love and compassion through every act of service.
