Backpack Ministry
College Avenue Baptist Church gives back to their community through the backpack ministry by helping children get the nutritious and easy-to-prepare food they need over the course of the weekend. Food bags are packed monthly during the school year and delivered to a local school. We want to make a difference in their world by showing them others care about their needs. Through this experience, each and every one of us has an opportunity to show God’s love through giving. If you would like to donate food items, there are boxes in the main hallway and atrium of the church.

- Chef Boyardee Spaghetti or Ravioli
