Impact Offering
Each month, we receive a special offering for a mission or service organization. You can give to the mission of the month online at legacyumc.org/give (select "Monthly Impact Fund" in the dropdown) or at the Legacy office.
September’s Impact Offering: MSA United Way Backpack Program
Throughout the month of September, Legacy will be collecting an offering to support the MSA United Way's Backpack Program. The Backpack Program provides food over the weekends to elementary, middle, and high school students across Bismarck-Mandan and many rural communities including Linton, Hazelton, Braddock, Moffit, Hazen, and Beulah.
Since 2013, the Backpack Program has been operated by MSA United Way alongside another community partner. Unfortunately, that partner is no longer able to continue the program this school year, leaving a significant gap in support for hundreds of children.
To meet this growing need, MSA United Way has been asked to provide backpacks for all 36 weekends of the school year. They need to raise additional funding to provide the food.
You can give:
- In person at Sunday worship
- Dropping by the office (9 am – 3 pm Monday – Thursday)
- Any time at legacyumc.org/give (select “Monthly Impact Fund” in the dropdown)
