2025 Float into summer book fair

Students identified as food insecure get assistance for lunch during the week, but what happens to those same students over the weekend? For that, we have the backpack program. 

Calvary gets food items and packs the items on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm. Backpacks will be brought to the school, and during the school year, eligible students will receive food for the weekends.

In backpacks students will get: 

2 breakfast items

2 lunch items

2 fruit items

2 snack items

2 juice boxes

EXAMPLES

Ramen noodles - chicken

Soup or noodle cups

Mac and cheese cups

Cans of chicken noodle soup

Instant oatmeal packets

Fruit cups/applesauce

Individually  packed snack items not containing nuts like:

     •fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, granola bars, oreo packs, etc.

Juice boxes (100% juice)

It costs around $100 to feed 1 child for the school year. We would love for you to

consider sponsoring 1 or more children for the 2025-2026 school year to provide

weekend food but any and all donations helps to make this program work.

Starting August 1 , donation station tables will be placed outside each worship

space or you can drop items off at the front office during the week.

Calvary’s It Takes A Village Ministry is helping Lewis & Clark Elementary students to FLOAT INTO SUMMER! Can you help? 

Calvary had a blast serving root beer floats and celebrating the end of their school year! We have learned so much about the students learning at our closest neighborhood school over the year. With that learning came the idea to send the students home with a few books each to help keep up the excitement of reading through the summer months. 

While we work to meet the physical needs of the students through our monthly backpack program, we also want to help them meet their learning goals. We are looking to you to help us fill baskets of books that the students will get to select in their last days of school. 

Donate a book or two any time between now and May 10. Books must be new or like new and appropriate for children ages 5-12. Please, no board books, books with sounds, or moving parts. We also ask that there are no marks or writing in the books. Check out the registries by clicking the orange button.
