seeks to feed 200+ children from Georgetown and Horry County schools each weekend during the school year. Your food donations throughout the year go directly to the children in our community so they do not go hungry. Your donations may be dropped off in the Family Life Center or in the narthex of the sanctuary.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer to help with Backpack Mission, contact Richard Rose or call the church office, 843.651.5099.
By contributing to the Backpack Mission, you can provide essential food items that help sustain children over the weekend. Below is a list of needed grocery items:
No specific brand names are required, and pop-top lids are preferred for easy access.
Participating in the Green Bag program is an easy way to contribute. Pick up a green bag from the Family Life Center or the Sanctuary Narthex after any church service or activity. Inside, you’ll find a grocery list of the needed food items. Fill the bag with your donations and return it to the church at your convenience.
If you prefer to make a monetary donation, we will use your contributions to purchase the necessary food items. You can also designate a portion of your Belin financial contributions specifically for the Backpack Mission.
Consider “adopting” a student! A $30 donation can provide a month’s worth of weekend meals for one child. Click here to set up an automated donation.

You simply take a green Sack Hunger grocery tote found in all the buildings on campus, fill it with non-perishable food items, and return it at any time in exchange for another empty tote… to keep the giving cycle going.
