Love for the City: Backpack Food Collection
August 8
Collection of backpack food for 40 backpacks to Ferndale Middle School. Do you know that the Greensboro/High Point area ranks #14 in the nation for food insecurity? Many of High Point’s neighborhoods are considered food deserts, or areas where one would have to travel over a mile to receive fresh, healthy foods. This distance may be extremely cumbersome to those who have to take public transportation or walk these distances to provide for their families.
