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

Grace Presbyterian Church has committed to providing the following three items for 495 backpacks:

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

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

We need volunteers to help set up the day before (and tear down) and assist our student ‘shoppers’ on July 27. Please sign up at the bulletin board by the coffee bar.
