			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vineyard Family Services, in collaboration with the Inverness Vineyard Church is pleased to announce the launch of their latest program&#8211;Backpack Buddies.  This program is working with several local Shelby County schools to help feed children on free or reduced meals who would otherwise go hungry on the weekends or holidays due to socio-economic constraints on their families.  We are currently providing 40 children each week with nutritious meals and snacks over each weekend break.  To learn more about this much-needed program, please visit the Backpack Buddies tab under the Programs section of this website or contact Ward at (205) 533-7852 or <a href="mailto:Ward@VineyardFamilyServices.org">Ward@VineyardFamilyServices.org</a>.  Thank you for your interest!!</p>
