Refugee Backpack Party: The Children Thank You

Refugee Backpack Party: The Children Thank You

Approximately three hundred children came to First Presbyterian on Saturday, August 11, and left with new backpacks filled with needed supplies, full tummies and perhaps some new friends. Scores of volunteers coordinated to provide the volumes of paper, pens, and more, and to serve lunch,  transport clients, and shepherd them through the maze.
