Church Leaders
In Shelby County alone, there are over 10,000 public school children on the free meal program at their school but what happens over the weekends? During long holiday breaks and weekends, The Backpack Buddies Program helps meet the need by providing public school students with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food that they can take home when other resources aren’t always available. Saint George Melkite Greek-Catholic Church has a receptacle in the Narthex to place the items and this collection will continue for the next several months. The church is located at 425 16th Avenue South, Birmingham, 35205. †
