Grace Church Supports St. Peter’s Haven Backpack Program

For the second year in a row this summer, Grace Church has supported the backpack program located at St. Peter’s Haven, an outreach ministry of St. Peter’s Church in Clifton, NJ. Members of the church donated four backpacks, along with many school supplies. The four backpacks were sent to St. Peter’s full of the requested items. Three were for grade school age children and the fourth for a junior/senior high student. We sent many additional school supplies to St. Peter’s also. We are happy to participate in this ministry to our friends in need, widening the circle of inclusion for children who might not otherwise have the supplies they need for school. St., Peter’s aims to distribute over 300 backpacks at a special Saturday lunch late in August.
