In a culture where we all too often seek to build or protect our own "empire," ABBA looks to partner with organizations that God has already positioned. As we close our Crucial Conversation around Education, ABBA provided over 2000 AISD & RRISD families with Kinder Readiness Kits, seeking to replicate the great work that was done among churches for LISD. As we built the relational bridges, we were also looking for a trusted nonprofit that was better equipped to sustain this valuable way the Church can serve our schools. We found that in BackPack Friends. Moving forward they will lead and manage this effort, and we encourage you to continue to volunteer and support this program through BackPack Friends. When we serve our city open-handed, ready to share the work, BIG things can happen. Learn more at www.backpackfriends.com
