Back to school can be a stressful time of year for many families. For children, the prospect of returning to school is daunting if their families cannot afford the required school supplies. We will be collecting backpacks and school supplies for students who live in Foundation Communities’ affordable housing apartments and for families assisted by the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please consider purchasing a durable backpack and/or school supplies for these children.
Pick up a school supply list on the table in the narthex. Please return your donations by Sunday, July 19. Thank you!
