Back to School Drive

📢 Attention everyone! 🎒📚

Join us for the Back to School Drive, taking place from July 7 to August 7 in partnership with the Network of Community Ministries! We're dedicated to supporting families in need and ensuring their children have the necessary supplies for school success.

We're excited to sponsor the Richardson ISD's Backpack Bash once again. This incredible event provides school supplies and essentials to families in need, ensuring students are well-prepared for the upcoming school year.

In addition to school supplies, we're also collecting school uniform pieces and children's clothing for our Clothing Closet. Your generous donations will help students feel confident and ready to tackle the school year.

Moreover, we're gathering food donations to support students and their families. While they receive breakfast and lunch during the school week, the collected food will help provide dinner and weekend meals.

Here's how you can contribute to this meaningful cause:

1️⃣ Make a financial contribution: Your support will enable us to participate in the Backpack Bash and provide backpacks and supplies to families in need. Donate today at www.thenetwork.org/donate and select "Tools for Schools" in the drop-down menu. If you prefer, you can also donate cash or checks made out to Network of Community Ministries. In the MEMO line, please write "Tools for School."

2️⃣ Donate children's clothing to the Clothing Closet: Help students attend school in new clothing by donating items such as khaki pants, polo shirts, new socks, and underwear.

3️⃣ Contribute food for families: We are currently requesting canned meat and fish, baking items (oil, sugar, flour, etc.), and single-serve snack items like cookies, chips, crackers, and fruit snacks.

For clothing and food donations, please contact Shea Harrington at sharrington@svumc.org. Drop off your contributions outside of Shea's office.

Let's come together as a community to make a difference in the lives of students and their families. Your support will pave the way for a brighter future! 🌟
