“Our packing party with our confirmation class was a huge success—12 backpacks filled in 25 minutes! This mission project was so popular with the children, we're hoping to fill 12 more backpacks sometime this summer. If churches are looking for a new mission project that is not only fun, but also makes a difference, I would highly recommend the Welcome Backpacks.”
