TWENTY YEARS AND GOING STRONG!!
Back in 2004 and 2005 several members of our Church attended Transformation Workshops in Charlotte, NC, and New York City.
Both years we came back from these workshops full of ideas and lots of energy!
After these workshops, we would periodically have brain storming meetings to come up with new ideas and projects for our Church. At one of these meetings shortly after the New York workshops, Pastor Scott shared that the Redwood Valley Schools would no longer be able to provide backpacks with school supplies for families needing a little help for grades K-8.
Our Church stepped up to the plate and through private donations began a Mission project filling backpacks for students of Redwood Valley Schools.
AND… 2024 marks the 20th year we have been doing this project!
We have filled between 109 and 157 backpacks each year. If we take an average of 125 backpacks filled each school year, we have then filled over 2,500 back packs with school supplies over the past 20 years… YES OVER 2,500 BACKPACKS!!!
This project could not have helped so many families from the community without the continued financial support, pure dedication from our church family and countless hours of manpower.
