The children of SPUMC and their adult volunteers work hard each week to make sure that every child knows they matter. Our kids sponsor local elementary school children. Each week the kids pack a backpack full of food to send home with these children to ensure that they don’t face hunger while away from school for the weekend. Turn your next family grocery shopping trip into a service opportunity by helping your kids pick out something for our Backpack Buddies Ministry. Donations can be dropped off throughout VBS week.
