AUGUST ANGELS

We understand just how important it is for each child to feel special and prepared as they enter a new school year.  A new school year is filled with wonder, anticipation and excitement!  But sending a child off to school is an expensive proposition.  When you factor in the school supplies needed, shoes to replace last years' worn-out pair, and a new outfit for the ever-growing child, parents could spend as much as $200 per child, turning back-to-school time into a financial hardship for many. 

We have made a commitment to once again help with back-to-school time through our annual program, August Angels.  We will be helping children attending Headstart through 12th grade, but we need your help to make this commitment a reality.

We are looking for donated supplies - everything from paper to pens, crayons to calculators, backpacks to boxed tissue!  Donations may be brought to Hope United Church of Christ (6130 Old Telegraph Road) or to Koinonia.  The last day items will be accepted is Friday, August 8 (this date must be firm).

Please see the list of items that we are in need of this year (below).  You may take this list with you to the store by pressing the print icon at the bottom; it will print to your local printer.
