Backpack Blessings

Do you know a family who needs help?

Free flour giveaway on Saturday...

Backpack Blessings is excited to be celebrating its 9th annual Thanksgiving Day meal for 25 families. Like last year, you can choose to sponsor a family and get all the items listed below, or donate a particular item. I will send emails to people on my mailing list and post updates on this page as soon as we have enough of a particular item. We will need 25 of each of the following items: 5 lb bag of potatoes... canned corn canned yams stuffing gravy biscuits Thank you! Linda

Thank you, First Book Huntingdon County! (and The Daily News)

Thanks to a generous donation and a lot of sewing by a friend of the Backpack Blessings program, all of the families will be getting new masks.

May 7, 9:00-2:30 I am writing to let all of you know that we will be having another food distribution day. It will be on Thursday, May 7th from 9:00-2:30. It will be for all of Huntingdon county. We are asking that if you could please spread the word and if anyone has any questions please call us here at (814)-643-1430. We know we are going to have the frozen meals, applesauce, granola, cereal, and apple oatmeal bars. My wife will be making a trip to the food bank and will be picking up more items to give out. Thank you for your time, may the Lord bless you and keep you always, keep safe, Auxiliary Captain Philip Bender

FREE food for ALL children living in the Juniata Valley School District regardless of where or how they attend school. Please help spread the word.

Backpack Blessings is in need of a driver to deliver bags of food to 6 families. The driver would pick up food Wednesday evening about 7pm at the Scout House in Alexandria. And deliver food weekly to 6 families located between Barree and Petersburg. If you are able to help please message me. Thank you! Linda
