We're so blessed that Operation Backpack has found a new home at Calvary Lutheran Church! Our first weekend food sack assembly for the 2026/2027 school year will be on Thursday, September 3, at 6:00 pm at Calvary Lutheran. Please plan to join us for our first assembly at this new location! Park in the lot just off 43rd Street on the west side of the church, and enter through the lower level door on the north side of the church.
IN JEOPARDY
Once again, we are starting the school year with minimal funds and the continuation of Operation Backpack as we know it, is in jeopardy. The drastic increase in the cost of food, lack of funds, and the rising needs of marginalized children have put us in a tight situation.
