Backpack Ministry

Serving our neighbors by addressing the hunger needs of children in our Swannanoa Valley community through snacks and meals to seven of our local schools in Black Mountain and Swannanoa.

Loving Like Jesus

We do this because we care about our neighbors. As the Bible says, we believe everyone is made in the image of God, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 130). When Jesus walked the earth, he healed and fed people while also meeting their deepest spiritual need of forgiveness from sin.


He did all of this because He loves us (John 3:16-17).

This is why we assemble snacks every week!

Assorted packaged snacks and a handwritten thank-you note arranged on a table.
