At Hope Chapel, it's central to our vision that we would be a blessing to the city of Greensboro.  We've partnered with social-service organizations throughout the city to work for social, cultural, and spiritual renewal.  Lindley Elementary is not only one of our partner organizations, it's also our meeting place on Sunday mornings.  One of the ways we are partnering with them this fall is by joining with several other local churches (Lindley Park Baptist and Starmount Presbyterian) to start a weekend backpack program.  A number of children at Lindley miss meals over the weekend due to lack of resources.  We agree with the administration that this shouldn't happen!  This new program will send backpacks, filled with basic foods for two breakfasts and two lunch/dinners, home with these students every weekend.  Hope Chapel's contribution will be helping to keep the "pantry" full.  There is shelving set up in a closet across the hall from our Children's Discipleship area downstairs in the school where we'll put the food and help keep it organized.  The other churches involved will be packing up the backpacks and also helping with the pantry.
