BROWN BAG BASH


We heard the cry of the hungry and we said "YES, WE WILL HELP!" The food pantries shelves are empty and families have no food to feed their children. Each week, the Elizabeth Coalition for the Homeless and Bridges Outreach Program reach out to feed over 500 to 700 people a week who are homeless in the local communities. Today, our students gathered together to make almost 100 breakfast bags for the homeless. They decorated their brown bags with messages of hope, and filled the contents with cereal boxes, milk, nutrient bars, hot chocolate, and prayer cards. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat... whatever you did to the least of my brothers, you did unto Me." (Matthew 25)
