Backpack Buddies Packing
On Sunday, September 13 St. Mark's members and friends filled 50 bags bags with over $600 worth food. Each bag holds enough for 2 days for one child experiencing food insecurity at our neighborhood school, Tanglewood Elementary which educates Pre-K through Grade 3 students.
St. Mark's has commited itself to continue to fill additional bags as needed throughout the 2026-2027 school year.

Backpacks Donated to Foster Children
On Sunday, August 30 during the "Blessing of the Backpacks & Workbags" the members of St. Mark's donated 10 blessed backpacks filled with school supplies to foster children in the care of Lutheran Services of the Carolinas.
Shari, Foster Care Case Manager with Lutheran Services of the Carolinas Foster Care program and her nephew worshiped with us and participated in the blessing. They will deliver the donated backpacks to ten local students in foster care.
LSC is looking for more foster parents and welcomes you to volunteer. Learn more on about fostering on their website: LSC Foster Care
