Day 130 - Children's Place Backpacks

Thanks to the generosity of the community, The Children's Place is able to send home around 40 backpacks filled with food supplies for children and their families every week. The infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who come to learn and play at The Children's Place have had some rough and tough times.  They are taken in for breakfast, activities, lunch and therapy, all in a nurturing environment of professionals and volunteers.  I joined women from NCJW who came to stuff backpacks with chili, saltines, fruit cups, pudding, juices, Spaghetti-Os, granola bars, and apples or other fresh fruit or pastry.
