Well, it’s official…we are halfway through summer and school supply shopping is sure to be on your calendar; which brings me to our next important mission for the summer of 2010! We will be collecting school supplies for A World for Children (MOMs has supported this organization for several years and they are so grateful for your contributions). A World for Children (AWFC) is a faith based, non-profit child placing agency licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) to provide foster care for abused and neglected children, ages birth to 18 years. As you can imagine, they are in dire need of our help to make sure each child is ready for school this year. Now is a great time to donate as school supplies are on SALE! SALE! SALE! So when you are out and about, please print out the attached list and take with you on your next errand run (please note the list is items needed per child and any type of donation you can contribute is greatly appreciated). You will make a difference in a child’s life J.
Please place your donations in the MOM MISSION blue bin in the Family Life Center foyer or give to one of your friendly council members for collection. We will be collecting from today, July 19th through Wednesday, August 3rd. I will be making a delivery on Friday, August 6th to their offices in Round Rock (if anyone would like to join me, I’m always up for company!).
As always, please let me know if you have any questions about this mission and I will be happy to assist you. For more information on the organization, please feel free to visit their website: http://www.awfc.org/.
I hope you are having an enjoyable summer and thank you for all you do to make our community a more caring, loving place to live! See you around town!
Peace,
Laura Tinglestad
