Adventist teens in a youth group named “We Are Called” (WAC) in Cadillac, Michigan, United States, saw the needs of the homeless in their community in 2017 and decided to find ways to help them.
Starting in late 2017 and through mid-2018, WAC gave away more than 150 backpacks filled with daily necessities, complete with a Bible, to those in need.
The majority of the backpacks were handed out in Grand Rapids and Traverse City, Michigan. Later, the group members started serving a dinner of spaghetti while they gave away the backpacks.
