‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.

Matthew 25:40 

There are so many young children in our community that suffer from food shortage. The only meal they may have in the day is the one provided by our local school systems.   On the weekend these children go home to homes with little to no food and often have to wait until the following Monday to get a hot meal.  

Fair View provides  a back pack with easy meals and items to eat on school year weekends.  For the 2024-2025 year we are have already starte providing for 16 families attending Coddle Creek Elementary school.  This number is slated to increase as the year goes on.

How can I Get Involved

This is an easy way to serve God and make an impact in the lives of families right here in our community!

We make it easy to drop-off your donated items!  See list below.
  • Bring to church on Sunday mornings.
  • Drop off at the church office Mon. - Fri. between 9AM - 1PM.

  If you would like to help pack back packs,  contact us today.   We often pack on Wednesday mornings in the church work room.
