TREE OF GIVING
During the remainder of June and throughout the months of July and August, we invite our GPPC congregation to donate items to Backpack Beginnings' Food, Clothing, and Comfort Programs. Backpack Beginnings helps over 23,000 children experiencing hunger and trauma in our community. They serve children in need via over 200 partners in Guilford, Forsyth, and Alamance Counties and their Family Market.
Childhood hunger and trauma expose children to risk of developmental, emotional, and educational delays that can last a lifetime. Backpack Beginnings' programs make a positive impact on the health and well-being of children in our community. More information can be found at www.backpackbeginnings.org.
