Unbelievably, the summer is zipping by and it would be great to make use of the back to school sales. Please help us collect school supplies to fill backpacks.

Each year First Christian Church fills backpacks with school supplies and shares them with children and youth at Glen Haven Community Center and Cone Elementary School.

We need: notebook paper, pocket folders, 1-subject notebooks, composition notebooks, crayons (24 count), scissors, #2 wood pencils, colored pencils, rulers, glue sticks, pencil bags, erasers, and pencil sharpeners.

Parents: here’s a great way to involve your kids in service to our community—as you’re shopping for your own supplies, pick up some extra to share.

Drop off at the church Monday-Thursday 9:00-2:00, or on Sunday mornings. (Or contact us to arrange a time.)

In addition to donating school supplies for our backpack giveaway, join us at 6:00 on August 22 for a potluck supper and backpack-stuffing party!
