Weekend Food For Kids
The Backpack Program provide nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to children to ensure they get enough food on weekends to avoid hunger when they can’t depend on school meals.
Who do we serve?
With the help of our community and churches, give away 2,400 backpacks of weekend food every month students in need from 19 Madison County Schools. We also give out 800 backpacks of weekend food every month to students in need from 5 schools in Estill County.
How can I help?
You can sponsor a child in need in our community for $12 a month. For more information, please call 859-623-2220 or email info@godsoutreach.org.
Hosted by Eastside Community Church to benefit the Madison County Backpack Program.
The annual “Tracks for Packs 5K Run/Walk” is usually held at the Richmond Centre in Richmond, Kentucky. The race is hosted by Eastside Community Church as a fundraiser for the Madison County Backpack Program.
Our mission is to provide supplemental and emergency food for residents of Madison and Estill Counties through a joint effort of caring people, who work together making the best possible use of all available resources, so that no one will suffer from lack of food while using this as an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with all those that we serve.
