Backpack Ministry

2nd Wednesday of Each Month

PFUMC in cooperation with local schools and Midwest Mission Distribution Center (M.M.D.C.), in Bloomington, provide backpack meals for students; while students may qualify for school meals at a free or reduced rate they may be left to fend for themselves for food on the weekends.

During the school year a few volunteers are needed to ride along to the M.M.D.C. to pick up the food items that will be used to pack a month’s supply of backpack meals. Upon returning to PFUMC, a varied age group of volunteers come to help pack shopping bags with the pre-packaged snacks and food items.

If you have some free time in the morning or before noon, we hope you will consider helping us with this vital ministry. Please call the church at: 815-842-1157 for times and to leave a message for the coordinator.
