BAYOU CITY BLESSED IN A BACKPACK 

Work Crew Project for Blessings in a Backpack

Work Crew Members: Need one or two more hours before you submit your scholarship or officer application? We have a fun and easy project for you that will make a great impact on our Blessings in a Backpack children. The Blessings program needs some little notes to put in the weekly food deliveries. Just get some notecards, decorate them with stickers or markers, and write an encouraging note. The notes should be positive, geared toward children, and non-religious. (We have participants of different faiths). You can get 1 hour for preparing 15 cards, for a maximum of 2 hours. Put them in a plastic bag and drop them off at 422 Hickory Post Court or 13603 Kingsride Lane.
