It seems odd to think about school supplies when we just finished a great school year. However, the new school year will be upon us soon (school starts back in just 1 month!) In these hard economic times we predict there will be an even greater need in our area for families seeking assistance with their child’s needed school supplies.
To help these families we are actively collecting school supplies.
There is still a great need for the following:
• Bookbags
• Pencil pouches
• Spiral Notebooks
• Large erasers
• Primary manuscript writing tablets
• Glue Sticks
• Wide-rule notebook paper
• clipboards
• Blunt-tipped Scissors
• 3 Ring Binders
• Marble Composition Books
• Highlighters
• 2 Pocket Folders
• Colored pencils
Additionally- we need volunteers! We need individuals, families, youth groups, children’s groups, and adult Sunday schools to help organize and pack school supplies starting the week of July 26th.
We will also need volunteers to help set up for the event on August 6th and volunteers to work the event on the 7th. If you are available for any of these opportunities-please call (864-578-1379) or email us at info@upstatefrc.org.
