North Coast hosts the annual Backpack Drive in order to collect backpacks stuffed FULL of school supplies for local homeless children and at-risk youth.  The goal is to set up these children for success by providing them with the proper school supplies.  As simple as it seems, a new backpack has a profound effect on kids who have very little.  The Drive takes place a few weeks before school starts so that we can distribute the packs to less fortunate in our area.

Project Description: 
Volunteers are needed to collect, sort and stuff backpacks as they come in.  Some heavy lifting may be required and it’s advised that you wear comfortable clothes.  You may attend service, and then we ask that you return after service to help finish the packing and sorting of backpacks.

9:15am-9:30 Volunteers help collect incoming donations

9:30 -11ish:  Volunteers may attend church

11-12pm:  Return to help sort, stuff and distribute backpacks as needed.
