Wellspring Church is blessed to be able to partner with Hand2Hand to deliver hope to hungry children—early childhood through high school—by mobilizing schools and churches to provide nutritious food over the weekends. For more information on Hand2Hand, you can visit their website.
We greatly appreciate your donations! The list below is specific in some ways due to the size of the bags that are packed for the kids to be able to carry and transport home without bulky items or breakable items. Thank you!
Jennette talks about how God has used Hand2Hand to impact her family in a time of need.

Cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)

MONETARY DONATIONS ACCEPTED
Monetary Donations can be placed in the H2H envelopes in the regular offering. These tax-deductible offerings allow us to put fresher items in the bags and provide a balanced menu for the children.
How Can I Help with Hand2hand?
Purchase SINGLE SERVING non-perishable food items on your regular shopping trip and place in the donation bins at church.
Pack “Breakfast bags”. These consist of 2-3 breakfast items in a Ziploc™ bag. These grab-n- go bags make planning our menu and packing much easier. Great project for you family or small group!
Write an encouraging note to each child in our program. These can be fun, with jokes and stickers, or just telling them to have a great weekend. Whatever the kids in your life would like to hear!
Email Pam Oosterbroek if you have other ideas or would like to be more involved!
Love Your Neighbor has partnered with area schools to identify over 800 kids in need of backpacks and school supplies this fall.
