A facet of the North American Mission Board’s Mississippi River Ministry, Christmas backpacks are packed with school supplies and hygiene items and delivered to needy families along the Mississippi River Delta. The Missions Mobilization Team of the State Board of Missions will be receiving and shipping the statewide collection from 10 other collection sites around the state throughout November.
