Backpack Program

Partnering with the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas and the International Studies Magnate School, we provide food for children facing food insecurity.  Once a month we pack up bags of food, which are delivered to the school weekly for children to take home each weekend as they are unable to rely on the food provided at the school.  We recognize that the ability to afford food is a significant problem in Jonesboro, and one that disproportionately impacts children.

Helping Neighbors Food Pantry

Every week in worship during the offering, we collect food which is taken to the Helping Neighbors Food Pantry for distribution to those in need in our community.
