Backpack Impact

Backpack Impact can use our help in restocking our shelves. I am pasting my Amazon Wish List here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2HYY4NVQB65AO This is an easy and convenient way to donate. You purchase from the list and it will be delivered directly to the church. As always, you can purchase items anywhere and donate. We are happy to take the donations. You may find items less expensive somewhere else or generics and that's just fine. You can bring them to chur...ch with to donate, donate any time the office is open or leave your donation in the big purple box outside the main entrance to the church. Most needed items are "main dish" items like canned pasta, soups, ramen, microwave meals and such. We still need the other stuff too! We go through lots and lots each and every week. Thanks for your help! We appreciate you!

Backpack Impact Needs: Hello, Everyone! We need your help. Backpack Impact helps 6 schools in our district by providing weekend food for kids on the free and reduced lunch program. One of them being Prairie View right in our backyard. The counselors have reached out with a request. Everyday, the teachers allow the students a snack time. Most of the kids we serve there at Prairie View don't bring a snack because they don't have anything to bring. The teachers would like... to be able to offer a snack to those kids so that they too get snack time and can reenergize for learning. Many teachers have been funding this from their own pockets. Let's see if we as a community can step in a fill a need for these hungry kiddos. We currently serve 74 kids a week at Prairie View. They have 28 days of in school left for the year. That means we need approx 2,072 snacks to get them through the end of the year. Wanna help? Drop off a box or two of individually wrapped snacks to the church. (Cheez-its, Pretzels, Crackers, Cookies, Granola Bars...) I am also sharing my shopping list for this need. If it's easier, go online to Amazon using my link and order from the list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/7GWFSK5JPYP4 It will ship directly to the church. You can also make a donation to Backpack Impact any time online via their website. https://mscwired.org/Just be sure to note that it is for Backpack Impact. Thanks so much for helping. We as a community really can make a big impact.

Eva and Dalton spent part of their Spring Break giving back to their community. They packed bags for Back Pack Impact! They are the grandchildren of Carol and Chuck Kiefe. Thanks guys!

I hope everyone is staying healthy! We are still providing food to kids every week, both in person students and virtual students. We can use your help getting our shelves stocked. I am still struggling to order bulk orders of my canned soups and pasta. I am ordering off of Amazon, Sam's and Costco and shopping in person. However, canned soups and canned pastas are significantly more expensive when I can't buy a store brand. For instance, Everyday Value Canned Ravioli is... about .89 per can. Chef Boy-Ardee is about 1.29 a can. When you are buying 400 cans at a time, it adds up quickly. I am going to list my top needs right now: Regular Sized Cans Please - Canned Soups (Kid Friendly Flavors) Canned Pasta (Spaghetti, Ravioli, Beef-a-Roni) Mac and Cheese Fruit Cups (Not cans) Applesauce Cups (Not Cans) Juice Boxes I am also going to put my Amazon list here. This is a convenient way to order and have the items shipped directly to church. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/YG7HM7AQ9FZ4 If you purchase items and need to deliver to us, please place them in the Purple Bins Outside of Modular 2 on the Church Parking Lot. Donations in the form or check or credit card are welcome too. Visit our web sight for credit cards. Checks made payable to Morning Star Church can be mailed to 1600 Feise Road, Dardenne Prairie, MO 63368. Be sure to note that the donation is for Backpack Impact. I will be happy to answer any questions. Lori Carballo
