how can it be mid July already?
it seems like summer has just flown by and its already time to start
getting ready for back to school shopping.
New crayons, clothes, notebooks, shoes will be bought.
Kids will be excited to start school so they can show off that new backpack.
Well in our community there are children that wont get to go back to school shopping.
They wont have the chance to pick out a new backpack or lunchbox
and this year I want to do something about this.
I want them to have a chance to get new supplies and pick out a backpack
So over the next couple months I am going to be collecting items for the
kids in Foster Care here in my community.
There is a big need for these kids, especially the older one.
They need everything from clothes to pencils
so below is a list from DSS of the stuff they need
Items that are needed most
Larger Size Backpacks
college ruled loose leaf paper
(these two items were really stressed
the high school kids really need these!)
they also need any other school supplies that you could think of
(i.e. crayons, pens, pencils, scissors)
this year the kids are getting uniforms for school
they will need
Red or Blue collared/polo shirts (any size)
Khaki or Navy pants (any size)
they can come from anywhere
they have them at Walmart and target
or if you don't live near and would like to help anyway
you can donate through Paypal
I will be able to take that money and get the items that are needed most!!

"religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress"
God calls us all to care for these children
we may not all be capable to adopt or foster
but as christian we have to care for them
and this is just one small way we can show that we
love them and that we care about them!
my goal is that every child would get something new for school!
so please please please consider donating!!
Thanks

what a great project to be part of! my roommate is a teacher at a school for students who are dropouts, delinquents, homeless or pregnant, and we did the same thing this year to help provide them with school supplies!
