First Baptist Church is honored to participate in the Food In A Backpack program by opening our church as the main base for weekly packing volunteers.  There are children in our community who are considered food insecure.  Many students rely on their school cafeterias for the majority of their nutrition during the week. To fill the gap in meals during the weekend, the Food In  A Backpack program exists in the Delavan/Darien school district.  Food is sent home discreetly on Fridays to ensure students are well fed over the weekend and can come in Monday mornings, ready to learn.   The program begins on September 25, 2024 and runs to the end of the school year.
