Mission Ministry is ramping up to assemble kits for Church World Service to distribute to children in the US and beyond. Last year we filled 62 bags. Thank you to all who donated!
Please note that specific sizes are requested for uniformity.
- Box of 12 colored pencils
- Two pocket folder
- Glue stick
- Blunt-tip scissors (packaging removed)
- 1-70 page wide spiral-bound notebook
- 30-cm/12” ruler
- Hand-held pencil sharpener (packaging removed)
- Large eraser (not pencil top)
- Six new, unsharpened pencils (bundled with a rubber band)
- Box of 24 crayons
- Optional: handmade or store bought pencil pouch.
The wonderful sewing group is making needed cloth bags to augment supplies.
You can provide all items for a kit or any quantity of individual components.
Shopping for items can be a fun way to feel like you are providing resources for a child.
Not a shopper? Funds to cover costs of items (approximately $15 per bag at full price) and shipping (over $100.)
Staples often has great sales on many of the needed items. Other summer back-to-school sales will follow in July and August.
Donations can be dropped off at the church office Tuesday-Thursday, 10am-1pm, or on Sundays in the sanctuary collection area.
We plan to assemble the kits in church in early September.
Thank you for joining this worthy project.
