BACKPACK DRIVE – Ongoing May 23rd-July 10th
We are already in the second week of our annual Backpack Drive, and we have had very few donations thus far. We are graciously asking our church to really come alongside and team up with us in this very special outreach opportunity. We do this Backpack Drive in order to provide for the children in the Monterey County whose families do not have enough funds to purchase materials necessary for their children to start school prepared. Last year we were able to provide over 300 backpacks to children in Monterey County, but this year the need is much greater. It is our goal to send out 800 stuffed backpacks… but we need your help!
We are simply asking that while you are out shopping for your own children, that you consider buying some items for these children in need. You can drop off the backpacks and school supplies in the bins located in the lobby, or at the Community Outreach Booth on Sundays or any day of the week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED:
Backpacks
Pens and #2 Pencils
Safe Scissors
3 Ring Binders
Loose Leaf Paper
Colored Pencils and Crayons
Composition Books
On July 10th, Tina Morales and Mary Hennessy are organizing a group of people who will be stuffing the backpacks with all the donated supplies. Please consider helping out with this very important event!
If you would like more information or have any questions, you may contact Deb Federico (dfederico@shorelinechurch.org // 831.655.0100 x312) or Megan Koontz (mkoontz@shorelinechurch.org // 831.655.0100 x338).
