last year, our Backpack ministry donated over 440 meals!
Each year, Eastpointe partners with Licking Heights Elementary Schools to help needy children in our community.
The Backpack Weekend Meal Program was created to provide food for children who are part of the free lunch program at Licking Heights who obtain free lunch on school days, but who often go hungry on the weekend. This program ensures these children have food to eat on the weekend by sending them home with a backpack of food on Fridays.

Shopping lists are available for pick-up in the atrium at Eastpointe. Simply follow the instructions on label, shop for the needed food items, and return it to Eastpointe the next week in the bin marked "drop off." You can also download a copy of the needed food items here.
DONATE
If you are unable or prefer not to shop, monetary donations can be made to the Backpack Ministry and our volunteers will do the shopping for you. Click on the link below to donate. If you would like more information, please contact the church office.
