Heart F.E.L.T.
Filling Empty Little Tummies
Fill a Backpack with Food, and Fill a Heart with Encouragement
The Heart F.E.L.T. Ministry to the Calvert County School System started during the summer of 2012. Heart F.E.L.T. (Filling Empty Little Tummies) is a program where backpacks filled with evening and weekend food are sent home with children in the subsidized school lunch program. This program helps fill empty little tummies of children who may go hungry on the weekends. The ministry team has also assisted PPES with providing Christmas food baskets, winter coats, and Christmas gifts to these children and their families.
Life Church started providing backpacks to Plum Point Elementary students in need in the Spring of 2013.
The founder of Heart F.E.L.T. of Calvert has received reports from faculty and staff indicating that they have seen significant improvement in the children’s attendance, attitudes, and grades. The Heart F.E.L.T. Ministry's Mission Statement is “You Have Never Really Lived Until You Have Done Something For Someone Who Can Never Repay You.”
