Upstate Backpack Blessings

Good Morning Upstate!
To our Friends, Followers, Supporters, Volunteers, Staff and Prayer Warriors!
We Hope you are well and staying cool! What a sizzler it has been.
We here at Upstate Backpack Blessings are very grateful for the texts, calls and emails that we have received from you all. Keep them coming! We truly enjoy being part of a phenomenal Community.
It has now come to a moment in our summertime to pause, take a deep breath and make preparations for the upcoming school year.

We will be closed beginning Thursday 16 July through Friday 31 July.
We will have very limited access to phone calls or texts, and only sporadic email.

Thank you for your understanding as we pause briefly to rest, reflect and recreate in order to be prepared to Serve the Children in the upcoming school year 2026 - 27.

We will respond as soon as feasible.

With Kindest Regards to You All,
Henry Pickard, Director

And, to round out the month of April, another of our Long-time friends at Greenville ARP Church sent word that they had gathered us up some peanut butter!We said yes, we will be there! They provided us with just shy of 200 jars of peanut butter which combined with Burn Boot Camp and several other of ourPartners made it completely possible for the Children to get a jar of peanut butter for the first bag in May which they will get on the 6th. We Love being part ofan enormous Caring Community! Thank you So Very Much!
