School Supplies for Needy Children

CTBC has been invited to participate in the School Supplies for Needy Children Project through Jefferson County Community Ministries. We have been asked to provide 45 back packs for 3rd grade students.

To participate, please purchase an age appropriate back pack and provide the supplies listed below. Then bring it to church with you on or before AUGUST 9TH. The bags will be delivered to JCCM for sorting and distribution. You will never know the child who will carry “your” back pack proudly to school, but you will know that because you cared, one child has been given a helping hand that could make a huge difference in his or her life.

Instructions: to ensure every child gets the same supplies, please refrain from adding extras such as notes or cards or extra supplies. Remove the bar-code from the backpack label. DO NOT put the supplies in the bag itself, please put them in a plastic bag attached to the backpack.

Supplies:
*(1) 2 inch 3-ring binder
*(6) #2 pencils
*(3) packs of wide-ruled notebook paper
