8th Annual Mable's Table Backpack Project

July 6, 2023

Happy Summer!  Get ready... it's BACKPACK PROJECT TIME!!! We are so excited to be hosting the 8th Annual Mable's Table Backpack Project .  

 

Eight years ago, this project was started by a foster mom who saw a way to help foster children all while creating an event to teach other children about volunteerism. From 50 volunteers packing 150 backpacks to now over 300 backpacks and more than 150 volunteers, the Mable's Table Backpack Project has grown to serve not only the foster children in our community but also some of our homeless and most needy children as well. This year we will be packing over 300 backpacks and doing many different projects to put in the bags. Information flyer is attached. 


Below you will find the QR codes to donate, Amazon wish list and the school supply list of donations needed. 

Please donate to keep this project going and join us to volunteer!
