Church backpack giveaway helps out kids

Mountain’s Hope Community Worship Center gave away 500 backpacks on Saturday, carrying on an 11-year-old tradition for the local church.

The backpacks were filled with school supplies and families were also able to collect bags of food. Cynthia Chess, founder and pastor of Mountain’s Hope Community Worship Center, said the church was able to raffle off four HP Chromebook laptop computers as well, and there were also food trucks and vendors on-hand with food and drinks for sale.

“We did raffles for those so that everybody could get something,” Chess said.

The church previously held the event in local parks and last year at WorkVine209, and this was the first year that Mountain’s Hope held the event in the church’s parking lot on 11th Street.

Chess followed up Saturday’s event with a special service on Sunday that included a back-to-school blessing for the kids about to begin their new school year.
