Parents will serve with their kids at the BackPack Headquarters (2120 Howard Dr, Suite F&G) at EITHER 6:00pm-6:45pm or 6:45pm-7:30pm. You can sign up for a spot at the Crossview Kids check in desk or online at www.crossviewcov.org/kidserve

K-5 Families with Last Name M-Z

Parents please check in your kids like a regular Wednesday night (6:00-7:15pm). Kids will gather in the Kid’s Worship room for an interactive lesson about hunger and injustice presented by Crossview staff and BackPack Program staff.

Here’s how everyone can get involved:

1. Donate candy! It will take over 15,000 pieces of candy to pack the treat bags - candy donations can be dropped off in the Crossview Kids office in the Kids Wing.
