Holmen’s Hope is undertaking another task and hoping our congregation can help. As we know many children in our community are on free and reduced lunches in our local schools. We believe some of these children may go hungry on the weekends when meals are unavailable.
Holmen’s Hope has started a Friday back pack program where they fill backpacks with non-perishable or microwaveable meals/snacks the children can take home. The children return the backpacks on Monday and Holmen’s Hope refills them weekly.
The school principals and guidance counselors have been the ones selecting the students/families they feel have the most need.
We will be collecting microwavable soups through Sunday, February 12th to present to Holmen’s Hope as part of the Souper Bowl of Caring Program.
