The Grace Blog

The Refugee team is excited to prepare for this year’s refugee backpack drive, held at First Presbyterian Church on July 27, 2024, 10 am – 2 pm. The IRC has requested that we prepare 900 backpacks (we prepared 700 last year)! Our church is one of several faith-based organizations that came together to help purchase supplies.

Grace is still responsible for 495 packs of these three items:

• Crayola colored pencils
• Crayola thin markers
• Wide-ruled filler paper

However, to purchase consistent supplies in bulk at cheaper prices and tax-free, we are requesting cash donations this year. If preparing a check, please designate ‘refugee team’ on the memo line.

We will need volunteers to help set up the day before (and tear down) and assist our student shoppers on the day of. Please sign up at the bulletin board by the coffee bar.
