First Coast Blessings in a Backpack is looking for special individuals who care about children to volunteer as program coordinators.

If you want to help children who are at risk of going hungry on the weekends, Blessings in a Backpack Program Coordinators help coordinate weekly packing of food bags for local children to take home on Fridays.


About Blessings in A Backpack

Blessings in a Backpack is a non-profit organization that feeds school children in the United States who currently are fed during the week on the federally funded Free and Reduced Meal Program and are at risk of going hungry on the weekends.

Its mission is to mobilize communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. The program works with elementary school-aged children whose families cannot afford enough food. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.

Blessings in a Backpack addresses the issue of childhood hunger in St. Johns County. 

Many children face a weekend without nutritious meals. As a result, they do not have the energy to participate in simple childhood activities and are focused many on their hunger pains.

Thanks to volunteers, our organization packs nutritious, easily-accessible, child-friendly bags or boxes of small meals and snacks which is given to them as they leave school on Friday.

The children who have these foods have the energy to participate in developmental activities and return to school on Monday ready to learn. Join us as we reach out to be a positive influence on the children in our county.

About Alpha-Omega Miracle Home
www.aomh.org

Alpha-Omega Miracle Home was founded in 1997 by Lisa Franklin, a native of St. Augustine, who was once herself a teenage mother. Despite her professional success years later, Lisa was coping with an emptiness that could only be filled by God. After a period of time when she walked away from the church and living according to her Christian values, she returned to her faith. One night, while praying and asking God how she could serve Him, God placed a vision in her heart of grandmotherly women rocking infants, and sitting at their feet were young mothers. The elder women were sharing their wisdom with the young mothers and in turn, the young were caring for the old. From that vision, Alpha-Omega Miracle Home was born.

From a very humble beginning with very little money, staff, or a formal plan, Alpha-Omega has grown dramatically from one home housing up to 7 teenage mothers and their infants to 24 transitional and permanent supportive housing units caring for approximately 87 women and children annually. In 2009, Alpha-Omega added permanent supportive housing for homeless senior women and other homeless community individuals and families. As funding increased, services such as case management and on-site counseling became available, in addition to financial literacy and life skills classes.

Alpha-Omega began several outreach programs, beginning in 2007, to increase care for homeless and low-income individuals and families living in St. Johns County. The Alpha-Omega Community Diaper Bank was opened to serve families who had to choose between buying food or diapers for their children. This year, more than 10,500 diapers and wipes were given free to the community.

In 2010, the first Alpha-Omega Thrift Store was opened to help fund the transitional housing program and give unemployed residents a place to volunteer while looking for stable, long-term employment. In 2016, Alpha-Omega opened a second store in Jacksonville and is now able to support the needs of the community even more. This year, the thrift stores have provided our community with over 3,000 free household goods and articles of clothing and shoes to those in need. Because of our faithful supporters, our thrifts stores are a meaningful place to give donations, shop, and volunteer.

Because of the faithful and determined efforts of Alpha-Omega Miracle Home, many individuals and families are no longer facing homelessness and are on paths of success with joy.

Do you want to play a role in our community's initiative to impact homelessness?

Do you have a few hours to lend in service? Do you enjoy "doing" vs. planning? 

Volunteers are needed who are willing to lend helping hands and in keeping our homeless "drop-in" center and office clean, neat and "spic and span" - - by assisting our staff with light cleaning and organizing.

Flexible schedule - you can pick your hours!

Duties may include easy, practical support tasks such as sorting and organizing materials, sweeping, dusting, wiping down the tops of our 8-ft tables, etc.
