Nearly 40 million people in the United States are living in poverty, and almost 9 million of them are children under the age of 18. This means that many of the kids living near the urban churches we partner with don’t have the resources they need.
Cru® Inner City equips these church partners with PowerPacks and training to support them as they get these backpacks full of school supplies to families who need them the most in the heart of cities across the US.
Nearly 9 million children across the United States are living in poverty.
For more than 30 years, we’ve helped deliver PowerPacks to the kids who need them most in the inner city. Each PowerPack is an opportunity to share the hope of Jesus and connect a child and their family to a local church.
For $40, you can provide a child with a PowerPack, giving inner-city churches and missions an opportunity to say to families in their neighborhoods, “God loves you, and so do we.”
PowerPacks are backpacks filled with all the supplies a child needs for a strong start to their school year, along with a clear and impactful presentation of the gospel message. All PowerPacks contain the Good News designed especially for school-aged children as well as:
Backpack
Pens & Pencils
Folders & Notebooks
Glue & Erasers
Pencil Pouch
Paper & Ruler
Crayons
