Ruhama is helping to sponsor the BACKPACK FOR KIDS program at Balls Creek Elementary and Tuttle Elementary. This program is geared to help children in need by supplying food over the weekends. The backpacks are distributed each Friday with around 15 items of food, and the empty packs are returned on Mondays. The process is repeated each week. Because of increased need our collection will be ongoing/ year round. We will alternate delivery to each school as soon as an adequate amount has been collected.
