Blessings in a Backpack, Dayton TX

Blessings in a Backpack, Dayton TX Have you ever thought about students in our schools that only get fed because the school provides that meal?

Every week, this ministry packs a bag full of snacks and easy meals, so that the child in need can have something to eat over the weekend.

Colbert Elementary recently held a Food Drive in support of Journey Fellowship Church’s Blessings in a Backpack ministry. This meal program provides students with the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

The response was overwhelming—donations poured in and quickly filled the shelves with food that will be distributed to students, helping ensure they don’t go hungry over the weekend.

When we partner together to serve others, everyone is blessed. We are grateful for this community and look forward to the next opportunity to make an impact together. ❤️

For the second year in a row, the members of Journey Fellowship Church have shown their incredible hearts for our community. A total of 78 Christmas Dinner bags were collected to bless students through the Blessings in a Backpack Ministry.

Each bag was filled with food items for a Christmas meal, and families also received a certificate to redeem a ham from Thrif-Tee Food Center, helping make their holiday meal complete.

We are truly grateful for the love, generosity, and support shown—not only to these families, but also for the partnership with Thrif-Tee that helped make this possible. The outpouring of blessings has been overwhelming. A group of volunteers delivered the bags to the schools, where they will be distributed to students this week.

We are two months into the school year and grateful for the students that Journey Fellowship Church will be providing backpacks of food over the weekend. While we are thankful for this opportunity to help, we also understand how difficult times are in our country. We are neighbors, we are friends, we are together in this life.

This school year we are currently blessing 67 students at three schools. We have a great team of volunteers who give of their time to be there in support of this ministry.

Please share this post with your friends so more can learn about this ministry in our community.

School began on Monday for our community and have truly ♥️♥️♥️ seeing all the back to school pictures and those off to college too. For students this can be a happy time but even some nervousness as well. For some students, this means they will be provided food each day and our Backpack Ministry will be there for them over the weekend.

Journey Fellow Church is ready to begin the Blessings in a Backpack Ministry for the 2024-2025 school year. We actually have 80 bags ready to be delivered. During the summer our ministry was shared with kids during Faith Adventure Week (VBS) and the last night the kids bagged the food. Was a fun time for them and learning about the ministry.

At this writing, counselors and teachers are working together to learn of families needs and our food deliveries normally begin the first of September. Our team of volunteers is ready to go!!!!

Thank you and will be posting more as we begin our school year too!!! Please share this post and ask others to join us.

The eclipse brought so many to see and experience God’s handiwork. Some have been anticipating this event for years, some even boarded flights specifically to see the event. But many were at a loss for words describing their feelings after the experience because they were in awe.

Now imagine seeing God’s handiwork everywhere, everyday. One morning as I was traveling to work, I cannot recall the events of why I had a troubling morning but I remember looking over and seeing a little girl smiling at me from another vehicle. That smile changed my day.

The first picture below, are items that will be provided to 60 students this week so they will have food for over the weekend. The smiles on their faces I am sure is priceless when picking up their backpack. Thank you for bringing smiles to their faces and food to their bodies.

Second picture, I copied from another FB post. It was so awesome seeing the cross with the eclipse. God is in control.

Feel free to share a story of yours if this posting brought a smile to your life. ♥️♥️
