St. Matthew United Methodist Church prepared nearly 300 backpacks to give out to the community.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Dozens of families filled the church yard at St. Matthews United Methodist on Florida Street.

The church prepared nearly 300 backpacks to give to the community Saturday evening.

Reverend Rodvegas Ingram of St. Matthews UMC said a Back-to-School Bash is just one way to help and minister to families in need.

“With our inflation right now, there are a lot of people who just cannot afford to get the back to school supplies and pay rent. They have to make a choice, we feel like it’s going to help them not worry about making that choice,” Rev. Ingram said.

Attendee Brandon Williams told us a backpack with school supplies sets his daughter up to conquer the 4th grade.

“Anything helps, it doesn’t matter if it’s one thing or two things,” he shared.
