Backpack Buddies
Many children rely on school lunches for nutrition and are often undernourished during the weekend. Backpack Buddies provides weekend nutrition for some of these at-risk children in our community.
After school soccer clubs
As a part of our commitment to "live outward", we've partnered with GRASSP to provide an after school soccer club at Richmond Elementary. This club serves as an incentive program to encourage kids to work hard in school and provide us with an opportunity to love and serve kids in our community.
