AUGUST ANGELS

Words cannot express how grateful we are!

At the start of the summer, we anticipated serving 175 children.  In July, we began registering children and the requests for help mounted.  We quickly put the call out for help with various needed school supply items and boy, did you respond.

We registered OVER 215 children and because of YOU each child received everything needed for the first day of school!          

• 215 backpacks (and we're still receiving requests from families)
• 430 pants and tops
• 1,290 socks and underwear
• $4,300 in Payless Shoe Source gift cards!  

Your contributions totaled over $26,000 and helped put big smiles on the faces of the children we served.

A special THANK YOU to our friends at Hope United Church of Christ for allowing us to use the church for staging and preparing the backpacks.  Also a special THANK YOU to our volunteers for all your hard work - you each bring life to our small building.
