Audrey Bolton and Rebekah Pipkin are lifelong friends who since their youth have had a heart for kids in need. As foster and adoptive parents, they recently started a backpack fundraising program – almost by happenstance. In a matter of days, they raised over $1200 – and they’ve used those funds and more to buy backpacks and fill them with essentials for children just entering the foster care system – many of whom may otherwise not have any belongings of their own. Audrey and Rebekah say they’re motivated in part by a bible verse, James 1:27 – a call to care for orphans and widows.
