Backpack Snacks & Food Pantry
 R.A.M.P.'s 5th trip to Kentucky, which will take place the week of February 15, will focus on two (2) important efforts:
Backpack Snacks - the schools in Martin County, Kentucky often try to send "Backpack Snacks" home with children in need on Fridays so they have food during the weekend to eat. With the recent snow and ice storms, and school canceled for more than a week, this need is even greater. Please consider donating funds to help fill backpacks with a healthy snack so the children may eat on weekends.
Food Pantry - R.A.M.P. has dedicated itself to helping the Homecoming Church, located up in a "hollow," with keeping the pantry filled with healthy food options. The food pantry currently serves 150+ families that live in the remote hills and cannot afford to purchase food on a regular basis. The food pantry will cost approximately $25,000 to keep filled for an entire year. This includes funding a monthly HEALTHY dinner for all of the families that need the food pantry.
