Backpack and School Supply Drive

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 new backpacks and school supplies for students that live in Foundation Communities’ affordable housing apartments in southwest Austin and also for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please consider purchasing a 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 24. Thank you!

Here's a list of needed supplies:

Backpacks (girls and boys, ages 5-11), White glue - 8 oz., Cigar type supply boxes, #2 pencils, Crayons and markers, Scissors, round point and regular, Wire-bound notebooks, erasers, ballpoint pens - black or blue, 12 inch rulers, Red lead pencils, Dividers for binders.
 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
