We Care
Children. Family. Elders.
Micah's Caring initiative has a strong, community-supported tradition of meeting the basic human needs of children, families, and elders in our area. By feeding and clothing the most vulnerable in our community we actively show them that their community cares about them.

Micah's Backpack addresses food insecurity of youth in the local schools by sharing 6 weekend meals plus snacks delivered directly to the students in the schools. Micah's Backpack serves 279 students in 10 Blacksburg schools.
Micah's Mobile Backpack delivers weekend food to children via a food pantry on wheels. This is typically done during the summers when the bags can't be delivered to the schools. Educators often accompany volunteers and may also include a mobile library.
Micah's Garden grows fresh produce for Micah's Caring Initiative programs. Half of the garden is used for the programs and the other half of the garden is rented out to lower growers who either keep their produce or donate it to the programs.
Micah's Closet gives a week's worth of new school clothes, pajamas, shoes, socks and a jacket to children in need.
Micah's Soup for Seniors provides a week of meals for seniors living on limited resources in the Warm Hearth community. This program serves approximately 100 seniors.
Micah's Mini Pantry is located onsite at St. Michael Lutheran Church. Whether a need for food and personal care items, or a need to give, mini pantries help feed neighbors and nourish neighborhoods.
