The Crenshaw Youth Group is seeking donations for its Backpack School Supply Program, which will provide needed school supplies for low-income children and teens. With the support of our congregation, our youth group hopes to provide a brand new backpack and the supplies needed to begin the school year. Parents of school-age children often anticipate spending hundreds of dollars preparing their children with back-to-school clothing and supplies, which many low-income families cannot afford.
How can you help?
The Backpack School Supply Program is in need of the following items:
Backpacks, pens, pencils, compasses, colored markers, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners with catchers, highlighters, scissors, rulers, glue stick, protractors, calculators, subject separators, scotch tape, binders (all sizes), college and wide ruled paper, pink erasers, book covers, white out, calculators, spiral notebooks, organizers.
All school supply or monetary donations need to be turned in no later than Wednesday, August 20. For more information about the Backpack School Supply Program, please contact Horace Johnson at horacejohnsonjr@yahoo.com.
