This year the UMW will again collect items for a backpack project to serve our county school children and get their school year off to a solid start.
The following items go into each pack:
70-sheet spiral bound composition books
Loose-leaf notebook paper/150 sheet packs
Pencil sharpeners – hand held type with top
Glue sticks
#2 pencils
Pencil top erasers
Block type erasers
Collection bins for donated items will be in the church foyer and in the fellowship hall, and we will collect donations (both materials & money) until August 7.
Don’t want to hassle with finding and/or deciding what to buy? Let Carrie Bartholf do the shopping by making a monetary donation. Monetary donations may either be given directly to Lisa Mann, UMW treasurer, or placed in the church collection plate (please clearly mark the envelope “UMW BACKPACK” and make the check out to the UMW). Mail donations to Lisa Mann, 7393 NC Hwy 87 N, Pittsboro 27312. The donated money will be used to help purchase the actual backpacks as well as any school supply items that are not donated (cost of a complete backpack kit is about $25).
