Feed Our Hungry Children Backpack Ministry is an interdenominational effort to provide meals for food insecure school children in Duplin County Schools. The ministry currently serves five schools. Participants are identified by the school social workers.

Backpacks are packed at Wallace Methodist Church on Thursdays by rotating teams of volunteers from local churches, organizations, and the greater community. Other individuals deliver the backpacks to the schools where they are distributed by the school social workers.

During the 2023-2024 school year 6,186 backpacks were provided for the weekends. Additionally, 900 backpacks were provided for summer distribution.
