One of the communities that our Allen-Benedict church plant is ministering to is collecting school supplies to provide for local inner-city children who may not be able to provide them for themselves.
The local Pinehurst Community Council is trying to collect enough supplies for 150-200 students, and we as a church would love to provide some or all of those. This is an incredible way of helping the church build with the community they're building relationships with, and we want to help them.
Here's the things needed:
- pencils #2 - lots for all ages
- erasers
- glue sticks
- kleenex
- hand sanitizers
- wide ruled loose leaf paper
- college ruled loose leaf paper
- rulers
- crayons
- markers
- highlighters
- 3 ring binders 1 inch
- folders with pockets
- math kits
- calculators
- pens black and blue ink
- book bags
- composition books
- 3x5 index cards (for middle school)
If you're interested in helping out to provide these supplies, purchase the items and bring them to the Gathering on July 28.
