We currently have 27 students at two schools that we are serving. We are so grateful that the Lord is allowing us to serve these students and their families!
This week we will need a few donations to fill the bags:
27 oatmeal
23 cans of chili
27 individual bags of cheez its
Each year we help the elementary counselors so that they aren't having to purchase too much with their own money, though we all know that they just do it in other ares anyway but we get to take this burden from them. They keep snacks in the office for kids who do not have one and are hungry. So we also need a peanut free snack item donated as well. This could be nutragrain bars, cheez its, popcorn or some other approved snack. We also donate a bucket of bubble gum or several packages of gum. If someone could drop those off as well, that would be wonderful!
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14

2015-2016 School Year Restocking
It happens every single time. Summer flies by and there just isn't enough time. We blink and it's time to put away the swim trunks and go get school supplies. Bear Necessities will, again, be serving students at John Weldon Elementary and Frances Howell Middle School. It has been a privilege to see this community of people surround these schools and make sure that no child goes hungry any day of the week!
Our actual numbers will come in within the first few weeks of school after applications to the program have gone home and been returned. In the mean time we are preparing the pantry and creating our online sign ups. Inventory has been taken and we see that there will be some immediate food needs in order to fulfill our commitment to the kids. The following items need to be restocked:
oatmeal*
ritz crackers*
easy mac envelopes*
fruit cups*
applesauce*
nutragrain bars*
raisins
chili
beefaroni
tuna
*item is sent home multiple weekends per month
As you are preparing for the school year, please remember to pick up a few items from the list!
Thank you so much to everyone who contributes, whether it be through prayer or food donation!
