Time to help local students prepare for success with school supplies

Beginning Sunday, August 1, you can help a local student get ready to go back to school. For many families in Howard County, purchasing basic school supplies for their children is an incredible challenge. You can help relieve the stress and support your neighbors in need when you:

  • Take a student’s tag from the school bus sign in the Narthex, use the attached list to shop for necessary supplies & backpack. Firmly attach tag to filled backpack, return to the Elevator Room. Please return your filled backpack by August 15 so we have time to get the supplies to the family in need.
  • Use an envelope available in the Narthex to place a cash/check donation (Payable to: Community Action Council/Prepare for Success) in collection plate.
  • Sponsor 2 students for $25 at the Kits for Kidz website. There is no deadline for cash/web donations, but sooner is better than later.  A special thanks those who have already donated!
