Thank you to all who have so generously contributed to our school supplies outreach.  Last year we helped 65 kids. This year it looks like it is going to be almost 120!  We have been able to provide most supplies through your donations, with cards left from Christmas outreach, and from recent financial gifts.
Next Wednesday we will be giving out school supplies to the last 23 or so kids.  The one item we are lacking is back packs.  I am going out shopping for the other small stuff (highlighters, erasers, batteries,
etc.)  Oh, another big thing is the thumb drives and calculators, since about half or more of the kids are grades 6 and above.  If you are able to help, let us know.  This is a great community!  And I wish you could see the happy faces on the kids who came with their parents and walked out with brand new things to begin their new school year.
