Back Snacks

Sign up to serve

Where Compassion Meets Hunger

Welcome to “Back Snacks” where compassion meets hunger in the heart of the Lee’s Summit middle school community. This ministry is dedicated to ensuring that no child goes without enough food over the weekend. Recognizing the challenges some middle school students face, we extend a helping hand by providing snacks to those in need.

We believe that every child deserves the chance to focus on their studies, fun, and family, enjoying childhood without the burden of hunger. Through the kindness of our volunteers and generous supporters, we assemble weekend snack packs filled with treats, ensuring that these students return to school on Monday recharged, ready to learn, and equipped with the energy they need to thrive.

Join us in fostering a community of care and support, as we strive to create a brighter future for every child, one bag of snacks at a time. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young individuals, empowering them to reach their full potential and build meaningful connection in their families’ hearts and minds with the Lord’s Church.
