School will be resuming soon, and children are in need of supplies. My church fills backpacks for our students.
Ever since I’ve attended my church, backpacks have always been passed out to students before school gets back in session. The children’s director purchases all the items needed, then we get a crew together to complete the project.
This year, we filled pencil cases two days prior to packing the backpacks.
Because the weather cooperated, we filled backpacks outside. We lined up tables and put items in order to pack. Then we placed the filled backpacks in storage containers until they get passed out.
This is such a blessing to students. Maybe you would like to start a similar project or donate a filled backpack to a local school. Even purchasing paper, pencils, or crayons is a great way to get started.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll never stop.
May students have a blessed school year.

This is so wonderful! What a blessing for students and their families who can’t afford to purchase them. They will help these children fit in and have the supplies necessary to accomplish their school tasks. You, your pastors, and your church are doing God’s work—not just talking about love, but showing it as well. God bless 💕

School supplies are badly needed. Did this when in business in Flint. To see the children get so excited about their first day of school with a back pack and supplies is such a blessing. And you have a good time doing it. God Bless your work✝️
