Every month we encourage you to take home a reusable yellow grocery bag, fill it up, and bring it back. Most months we ask you to bring food. In July we’re asking you to bring school supplies for students in the Wichita refugee community.
Grace is again partnering with other churches and organizations in this endeavor. On August 10 refugee families will visit First Presbyterian Wichita to pick up supplies they need for the coming year. Our contributions fill the backpacks for the students.
Our goal is to fill 500 backpacks. Each church is providing particular supplies. The Grace supplies are listed below. You may buy one of each item or buy in bulk and bring in multiples of the same item. All contributions are welcome! If you don’t want to shop you may give the Refugee team some money to shop for you.
- Wide Rule Notebook Paper (packs of 150-200 sheets)
- Binder Divider Sets for 3-ring notebooks
- Blue Pens
- Basic Calculators
The school supply drive goes all month. Bring your supplies back to Grace by July 31. Also, look for sign-ups and volunteer for the event on August 10 and for set-up on August 9. Questions? Contact Erin Lewis erin.dulcimer@gmail.com, Wizie Eads wizie1164@gmail.com, or Carolyn Benefiel.
