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.

Grace was vital in this ecumenical effort and the organizers were very thankful for our extended assistance. Many of you filled yellow bags and donated $375 to help buy what was still needed. Economy Corner generously contributed $300.  Volunteers toted the bags to First Presbyterian and enthusiastically helped with set up, transportation and wherever they were needed that day.

THANK YOU for caring and loving these children.
