Boogbags For The Homeless

Life Church welcomed Debbie Van Atta, founder of Bookbags for the Homeless. Debbie’s idea to help a handful of homeless people in Lancaster has grown into a massive stockpile of supplies that had to be moved into a storage building. She provides over 200 backpacks each month filled with items such as personal care toiletries, warm outerwear, assistance information and a pocket-sized Bible.

The following donations are urgently needed:

  • Book bags (new or used)
  • Can openers
  • Deodorant
  • 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner
  • Rain ponchos

There is a crate beside the Welcome Center for your donations  This is an ongoing project and we will also be handing out these items at our Easter service.
