Headed for Owsley to feed the children!

Well, summer is almost here and we will be doing our summer project again to Owsley, Kentucky.  Known as the poorest county in the U.S., the Owsley County Outreach Program provides weekly backpacks for children full of food for the weekend.  During the summer it is especially hard as the children are not at school and getting them the extra food they need is difficult.  Our project this year is to provide enough food for 2 days for 150 backpacks.  Here are the particulars:

We will need the items as listed.  If you wish to purchase an item, email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com and give us the letter(s) of the items you will be buying.
