AN 18 YEAR TRADITION…
For 18 years, Southside Church has celebrated what has come to lovingly be known as “Birthday Sunday.” Each year in February we acknowledge our church’s birthday by partnering with one or more organizations within our community to tangibly contribute to their efforts.
This year, we are locking arms with an incredible organization called BackPack Kids. If you have been around Southside for any length of time you will be familiar with BackPack Kids as the mission for this non-profit was originally birthed right here within Southside.
Over the past 16+ years since it’s conception, God has grown the vision and scope of BackPack Kids as it became it’s own non-profit 501C3 and has served over 50,000 food bags to kids in need. We are proud and eager to contribute to their efforts this year.
See below for the ways you can get involved in the lives and bellies of students in our community.
