8 Mission of the Month: - NW Guilford Area Backpack Ministry NWGABP Ministry served over 150 children last year and this year we not only aim to increase that number, but the Ministry will be increasing the amount of food we provide each week. ORUMC and the community make this possible through their generous food donations and financial support. Over 16% of the students in our area schools are at risk for going hungry. Your contributions will feed children at Oak Ridge, Stokesdale and Summerfield Elementary and Northwest Middle School and High School as well as Northern Middle School. Currently we are also talking to other schools to see if we can help. Please continue to assist us in reducing childhood hunger in the Northwest Guilford Area by filling a grocery bag (see list) and/or making a financial donation. Grab a bag from an ORUMC lobby and return it by September 30. Note: all bags can be returned to any of the lobbies in the designated areas at any time during the month of September.
