“Your legacy is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
On Thursday, March 14th, 2019, the Life Corporate Staff volunteered their time to serve with the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Backpack Buddies program for the Life on Life Initiative.
Backpack Buddies is a program dedicated to providing children from low income households with 10-12 pounds of nutritious, kid friendly groceries for the weekend when free school lunches and breakfasts are not provided. Each Backpack Buddies bag includes enough food for 6 meals and 2 snacks. Each week, the goal is to pack 2,400 Backpack Buddies bags that can be distributed to children throughout local schools.
In just one hour of volunteering, the Life corporate team packed 495 bags of food which provided 2,970 meals to children throughout Wake County.
“Backpack Buddies is an exceptional program run by an organization that truly cares. We were honored to be able to spend a little time volunteering, and helping to provide meals for children who otherwise might have to do without. The willingness of the Life corporate office team to serve and contribute is something I’m very proud of!” – Chris Brady (CEO and Creative Director)
