Raise the Bar Against Hunger
Fall Hunger Drive | September 28 – October 12
This fall, we’re launching our annual Backpacks for Hunger Drive with a special focus: “Raise the Bar Against Hunger.” Our goal is bold — to collect 150,000 kid-friendly protein bars to sustain children in need across Kansas City for the entire school year.
Every weekend, Resurrection provides an average of 3,000 protein bars through our Backpacks for Hunger program. These simple snacks ensure that children return to school on Monday mornings fueled, focused, and ready to learn. For many kids, this is the difference between hunger and hope.
How You Can Help
1. Donate Protein Bars
We’re asking for kid-friendly protein bars that are nutritious, filling, and easy for children to enjoy. Great examples include:
- Nature Valley
- Clif Bars
- Kind Bars
- Other similar brands that are high in protein, individually wrapped, and that kids would enjoy…think peanut butter, granola, chocolate chips etc…!!
Bring your donations to any Resurrection location during the drive. Together, we can reach our 150,000 bar goal!
2. Spread the Word
After worship, stop by our table to pick up a packet of door hangers. By distributing these in your neighborhood, you extend the reach of this ministry and invite others to join the cause. Door-hanger packets are available at every Resurrection location. Your participation in spreading awareness makes a huge impact, helping us ensure that every child we serve has the nourishment they need.
3. Give Financially
Want to make the most direct impact? Become a Backpack Angel by making a gift:
- $300 provides a year of weekend meals for one student.
- A recurring gift of $25/month ensures a child is fed, month after month.
Your contribution doesn’t just fill a backpack. It fills a child with:
- Energy to learn
- Hope for the week ahead
- Confidence that they are cared for
