As a church we are collecting school supplies to donate to families who need it. Our focus is the apartments across the street from our church, called Rutland Manor, but we will also give to families within our church who are in need of school supplies, if they let us know ahead of time. Currently, we have requests from kids in pre-k through high school. This is an opportunity to show love to our community, so we want to be sure we get all the supplies we need in time! The following is an example of a list of items that we'll need to be brought in to the church by Sunday, August 13th.

• backpacks
• crayons 
• packs of pencils 
• markers
• colored pencils
• notebooks
• folders
• one-inch binders
• rulers
• erasers
• pencil sharpeners
