The response to CBG’s Backpack Project has been amazing!   We collected supplies to provide 1,000 backpacks to families in need.

• Sunday, August 15 – 1:00pm – Sample Road campus – Prep supplies for Packing Day
• Monday, August 16 – 9:00am – Sample Road campus – Packing and Delivery to Area schools

Thanks to everyone who provided supplies and monetary donations and THANK YOU to our CBG volunteers.
