CUMC & Backpack Buddies
CUMC has been instrumental in bringing the Backpack Buddies Program to Cameron. Every Friday during the school year children from food insecure homes are provided with a backpack of food they can prepare themselves. The program has grown and now the village works to raise $18,000 every year to feed 120 children.
