HLC Confirmation Service project for this Lent is to partner with REACH in filling backpacks for Children. The BackPack program provides children in Hawley, Ulen-Hitterdal School Districts, Glyndon-Felton Elementary School, and Norman County East Elementary School with food to take home and consume over the weekend each Friday during the school year. Currently 122 kids are receiving food in their backpack every week in our area. Children receive nutritious, kid-friendly, and shelf stable items such as juice, cereal, soup, fruit, granola bars, and easy to prepare individual meals. In March HLC confirmation students and mentors will pack the food for the month of April. We are asking you, all the HLC members, to help us by providing nutritious, kid-Friendly food to put in the backpacks.
Here is an idea of the sorts of items we are looking for.
