Backpack Attack to Benefit The Wish Project
The big, yellow school buses have barely completed their final routes and we're already talking about the start of the 2022/2023 school year.
Last year, The Wish Project distributed to participating social service agencies in Middlesex County "3400" completed backpacks to children K-12 living at poverty level/low income.
Your Outreach Committee will once again purchase 48 backpacks but are once again asking for your help in filling them with much-needed supplies.
We will post an electronic Sign-Up Genius list of needed items as well as provide a paper sign-up at church. Both will be available at the beginning of July.
Many retailers start their back-to-school supply sales in mid-July. There will be a drop-off box located in the downstairs foyer area. Access to this area is T-F, 9:30 - 2:00, and on Sunday
mornings. The box will be in place until the end of July.
These modest supplies may seem like no big deal to most families, but for low-income/poverty-level parents it is a real challenge. It is also important for these children to feel like their
classmates!
"Thank You" for your support of this local mission.
