Back Pack Giveaway Is Here and Ready To Help

Lynnwood, WA. Volunteers are staying active in Lynnwood. A recent Grocery Giveaway Earlier at Charisma Christian Center is evidence of that. Eight years ago the center’s pastor, wanted to “expand love and care to the community, by extending to those who are less fortunate and in need of assistance.” This mission is behind the idea of an upcoming BackPack Giveaway. It’s a community outreach program designed to help give out backpacks filled with school supplies to help children in grades K -12 get ready for the school year.  After 7 successful years of being able to give back to the community with help from sponsors such as McDonalds, Clothes for Kids, Grocer Outlet and Lions Club all helping in various ways, this annual event has been able to have a positive impact in the Lynnwood community. For this years Back Pack Giveaway will be able to hand out 1000 backpacks filled with school supplies as well as 350 grocery bags filled with essential foods for families in need.

Back Pack Giveaway Volunteers (2018)

Due to Covid-19 the event will look a little different from years prior. Now there will be a way to register for backpacks and groceries online as well as have volunteers wear face masks and gloves to help stop the spread of Covid-19. Also there are plans to “scale things back” when it comes to crowds this year. Usually, this event has music guests and games for kids as well as food. However, this is not detouring Charisma from going forth with their event because “we care about extending love to those who are less fortunate and need help”. If you would like to volunteer for the BackPack Giveaway you may reach Charisma at this link here. Also in the next couple of weeks you will start to see flyers and other advertisements for this event. The BackPack Giveaway will be on Saturday, August 22nd and will be an all-day event.
