project backpack food drive
We started our fall drive to raise funds for the 750 backpacks a week that we need to provide. We're at $19,574 as of August 22,2019. Won't you help? Let's break that $24,000 goal!
What we do
Project Backpack
Hungry children get free lunches on school days, but what about the weekend? Caring teachers and school counselors identify children who are food insecure and volunteers pack 7 meals into bags that go in each child's backpack each weekend.
Food Pantry
There are 10,000 people in Wilkes County North Carolina that are food insecure. We collect donated food from local grocers, restaurants and gardeners Monday through Saturday and give people in need 60 pounds of groceries each month.
Donate
You could buy this box of crackers for $3 and donate it to Samaritan Kitchen. Or, you could donate $3 to Samaritan Kitchen and with our partner agency Second Harvest, we could purchase all you see abovet the Food Pantry title to the left.
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and end hunger. Your generous donation will fund Samaritan's mission. Samaritan Kitchen is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
