Year-round
Buddy Bags for Students and Families
Each week LBC provides take home groceries to over 40 qualifying families in the Shawnee Mission school district through our buddy bag program. Buddy Bags are designed to provide food items to families in need. These bags are delivered to the school counselor who quietly places them into a student’s backpack. An example of items sent home are macaroni and cheese, cereal, peanut butter & jelly, crackers, etc.
Sorting donations, bagging food items and delivering buddy bags to local schools are some of the ways you can serve on the Food Pantry/Buddy Bag ministry team. If you would like to sign up to serve in any of these areas, do so below. If you would like more information on how to donate to our Food Pantry, text “Food” to 89449.

In addition to packing a box, we have many volunteer opportunities to help collect, sort and stack the boxes during and after collection.
