Transforming Our Community Through Serving

Transforming our community

Backpack Buddies - Thanks to your generous giving, our Backpack Buddies food bags have continued to go out to children in our community! Through a partnership with the Benson Area Ministerial Association and the Four Leaf Clove Program, our bags have been taken directly where they are needed most. A HUGE thank you to Steve and Marie Fox who have been packing the bags each week.

Food Pantry - The BBC Food Pantry continues to see individuals and families coming by through out each week. Thanks to your donations, we have been able to continue giving out bags of food, basic cleaning supplies, and other needs. As the pandemic continues forward, we are extremely thankful for the ways you continue to support our community through this ministry! Because of your generous giving, 44 families were helped through our food pantry in August!

Back-to-School Supply Drive - We were excited to once again join in partnership with BAMA and the Benson Chamber of Commerce in collecting and giving out school supplies for the new school year. Though things have looked very different for students and parents, these items were still needed! Thank you for donating and for volunteering your time to the drive this year!

Through serving

Over the last few months, the Benson Baptist Men’s group has built three wheelchair ramps in our community. We are thankful for the giving of their time and skills, as well as your generous giving that makes this type of community engagement possible!
