School will be back in session early August and for kiddos and teens that means school supplies will be needed. Our food pantry clients can sign-up to receive backpacks, but donations are needed from the congregation!

The efforts this year will be led by Crystal Voigt, she explains, “We are going to do a similar “Flood Bucket” where the congregation can either make a backpack and bring to drop off or they can just purchase the supplies needed and drop them off. We will do two different backpacks elementary and middle/high school. The supplies are very similar and only a few more for the upper level backpacks (middle and high school) so this should make it easier for collection, assembly and distribution. Contact Crystal for a list of supplies at crystallynn.voigt@yahoo.com
