Backpacks 4 Kids is the newest addition to the ministry opportunities of Appalachian Mission Project. This mission is designed to provide backpacks filled with school supplies to the children of Appalachia. You will be able to sponsor a child and personally pack their backpack with school supplies, toothbrush and toothpaste, reading books, and a personal hand-made card!
Backpacks will be collected through the spring and summer and will be taken to the children in late August. The kids will participate in a day camp filled with games, snacks, Bible stories, crafts and a whole lot of fun! At the end of the day, each child will be presented with his/her personally packed backpack.
