Mountain Brook Girls' Bible Study Raises Money to Help Feed Students in Need Over the Holidays

Mountain Brook Girls' Bible Study Raises Money to Help Feed Students in Need Over the Holidays 

On December 8th, this group of girls came from Mountain Brook to CSM to help us pack 175 of our Compassion Packs for kids at Forest Hills Middle School in Fairfield. These packs go to local schools to help supplement students' diets during their time away from school. any of these students depend on their school's meal plan to provide their nutrition on a weekly basis and when they are away from school for the holidays, they may not be properly nourished.

Thanks to these girls raising money and helping to put these packs together, there are 175 students in Fairfield that will be provided with a great supply of breakfast and snack foods for the Christmas holiday! Sandra Hardy, a member of Urban Hope Community Church and one of our partners in Fairfield, said that "your generosity is impacting hundreds of families in Fairfield" and that "the school was very appreciative of this kind gesture and the students were excited".  This is just another example of how, through Christ, the Christian Service Mission has been able to connect resources to needs!  Thank you girls from the Mountain Brook girls' Bible study and thank you Urban Hope for your involvement and partnership with CSM! Compassion Packs sponsorships are $5. Contact CSM to sponsor kids in need!
