NOW Backpack Program: Nutrition on Weekends

The NOW (Nutrition on Weekends) Backpack Program at Norman Jr. High is an ongoing mission project supported by Kaufman FUMC throughout the school year.

NOW is organized by the school counselors and the Jr. High student leadership class. The leadership class has fundraisers throughout the year to fund the program, but they are extremely grateful to us for the extra help we provide.

How it works:

Each Friday, the students receive a duffle bag of non-perishable food items. Once a month, toiletries are added to their personal backpacks.

Current needs: Canned pasta, soup, fruit cups, juice, peanut butter, shampoo/conditioner

You may bring your donations to church or to the church office.
