In 2010, Child Evangelism Fellowship launched a new arm of ministry called "Sacks of Snacks."


The purpose of this program is to provide small bags of healthy snacks for children who have little or no access
to food over the weekends.  There are children right here in our community that are hungry.  They receive free
breakfast and lunch at school during the week but may not have any food at home on the weekend.  Some schools
currently have backpack programs in place to meet this need but the coverage is spotty at best.  We determined
that the best place to start was Spartanburg District 7 since the need is great and there is no backpack program
in place.  During the November 2010 - March 2011 we were able to donate approximately 2,200 "Sacks of Snacks"
to Spartanburg District 7.  These have been distributed to children at Cleveland Elementary.  The school determines
which children are the most in need and teachers discreetly place them in the selected children's backpacks
on Fridays.

We need your help!


We are in need of individuals to donate items for our sacks of snacks.  These items should be easy for a child to open and require no cooking.  Some suggestions include:

  • Snack pack pudding/jello cups
  • Fruit cups
  • Applesauce cups
  • Individual packs of fruit snacks
  • Individual packages of cheese and crackers
  • Individual size boxes of cereal
  • Pop-Tarts
  • Hi-C Juice boxes
  • Fun size packs of cookies or teddy grahams
  • Individual microwaveable Chef Boyardee bowls

Any items can be brought by our office:  1849 E. Blackstock Road, Roebuck, SC 29376.  Thank you!
