Over
the past few years, we have collected backpacks filled with supplies to give to
families as they start back to school. Last year we made a couple of changes
for the better in how we organize our annual backpack giveaway. First, we
adopted a local elementary school so we could specifically help one school. We
are doing the same thing this year, but we will be at Pinewood Elementary
School. We have begun a partnership with them, and this would be a blessing for
them. Second, we collected money instead of individuals purchasing backpacks
and supplies because we can order in bulk and have twice as many backpacks to
give away. As we approach the Fall, we will let you know how you can
specifically help at the event. Right now, we need to begin collecting the
funds for the backpacks. To order in bulk, we need to place our order by June
10. I hope and pray you will consider giving for this opportunity. Each
backpack you donate for costs $11.
