BLESSING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES
BLESSING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES
School is right around the corner, and families are getting ready to buy new supplies for the new school year. But for our Food Pantry families, with an average monthly income of $420 per person, this is a big financial burden. That's why we do our annual Back-to-School event to provide low-income families and their children with the backpacks and supplies to start the school year strong.
We're expecting 400 children from low-income families at our 12th annual Back-to-School event, taking place on Saturday, August 2, at Redwood Chapel. Most of the families attending are regular clients at our Food Pantry, and all families must provide their household income which must fall within the California guidelines for poverty.
We're looking forward to spending time with these families and walking in love with those in need! It's sure to be a fun event, and we'd love you to be a part of it.
Here are two ways you can get involved.
