Our local chapter of the Christ Child Society has partnered with Lovepacs to ensure that children in Lewisville ISD have weekend meals during this COVID-19 crisis. Now that LISD will remain closed for the rest of this school year, Lovepacs are even more important.
Each Lovepac bag contains enough nonperishable food for four meals (breakfast/lunch) plus snacks over the weekend for each child. Items include canned fruits and veggies, granola bars, canned tuna, and more. St. Philip’s parish campus is now a donation drop off site for Lovepacs, to assist in getting 200+ bags assembled each week. Currently, we are trying to completely cover the needs of Mill Street Elementary School in Lewisville.
How can you help? If you are able to shop during this time, consider picking up some extra items on the Lovepac list. Any donation helps!
Lovepac Items Needed You can either donate individual goods on this list or make your own Lovepac! If you prefer to drop off an assembled Lovepac, please put the items in a grocery bag and double knot it. **We will gladly accept donations of gently used grocery bags!
Each Lovepac contains: 1--15 oz can of vegetables 1--15 oz can of fruit (substitutions can include apple sauce/other fruit cups or fruit pouches) 1--5 oz can of tuna or chicken 1--canned pasta (eg, Chef Boyardee Ravioli) or chunky-style soup 1--instant pasta (eg, "Easy Mac" or instant Velveeta Shells and Cheese); or package of ramen/Cup O' Noodles 2--granola bars 2--individual packs of instant oatmeal 3--individually wrapped (1 - 1.5 oz) snacks (eg, goldfish, peanut butter crackers, pretzels, Handi-Snacks, Cheez-Its)
Drop Off Times You can either bring items to the St. Philip's parking lot during "drive thru drop off" hours every Saturday from 10 am - 12 noon and Wednesday from 3 pm - 5 pm, or you can leave items anytime in bins that will be stored in front of the church doors.
The Christ Child Society thanks you for your continued support of our community! Because of your generosity, we can be a light in this current darkness.
