YOU are invited to a
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
School Kits Packing Party!

WHEN? Sunday, November 5th after the church service
Lunch is being planned…more details soon!

TO BRING:
—- Lots of school supplies. See specific needs on the list below!) We will bag the kits together, laying out all of the donated school supplies on the tables.
—- Donations for shipping costs will be greatly appreciated!
—- Children! They love this mission project! Sharing with those who have lost much in a disaster is a valuable teachable moment as we strive to teach our kids to live the way Jesus taught. Even the shopping experience, as you gather school supplies, is valuable, as you are demonstrating sharing resources with others!

There is a donation box located in the church hallway.

HERE IS WHAT IS SPECIFICALLY NEEDED FOR THE KITS:

• Blunt scissors (rounded tip)
• 70-count spiral notebooks or tape-bound pads of 8×10-1/2″ ruled paper or pads with 200-210 sheets of ruled paper. (No “filler paper” please.)
• 12 inch rulers
• Hand-held pencil sharpeners
• New pencils with erasers
• Large erasers
• Boxes with 24 crayons in them

These kits will be sent to the PDA Center in Little Rock, AR, and from there, they will be distributed to areas of need.

Thank you, as always, for being generous people!
