MISSION: BACKPACK
 Please
help a child in need start the school year right by providing a backpack
filled
with school supplies.
The first few days of school can be
critical for children. Help them get off to a good start, and success often
follows them the rest of the year. On the other hand, kids who get off to a
slow start in September often find themselves continuing to struggle in May.
With the help of Festival Foods of MN this is YOUR chance to stand up for kids. Please be generous. Many of their
families can’t afford the school supplies listed below. But we’re hoping you
can.
Join
with the Union Gospel Mission to provide hundreds of fully loaded backpacks
to school kids ages 5-18.
It's easy!
Just fill a backpack with the supplies listed below and bring it to one of
the conveniently located Festival Foods of MN by Sunday, August 12th.
Or simply make a donation at the register when visiting any of the
location listed below, or click on the donation link, and we will fill a
backpack for you.
Here’s the complete list of what’s needed:
- Backpack
- 12 #2 Pencils
- 12 Red Pens
- 12 Black or Blue Pens
