I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer so far. Our July mission will be collecting school supplies for A World For Children. AWFC in Round Rock services about 145 children who are currently in the foster care system in our area. Of the 145 children receiving services, 109 are school age: 39 are elementary, 26 are middle school, and 44 are high school students. Below are the supplies that are needed.
Elementary:
- backpack (no rolling backpacks, please)
- rounded scissors
- crayons (24 pack-Crayola brand preferred)
- colored pencils (12 pack)
- 1 package wide-ruled paper
- Elmer's glue
- 1 package multicolored construction paper
- spiral notebook (wide-ruled, 70-page, any color)
- folder w/ brads and pockets (any color)
- ruler
- box of tissue
Middle School and High School:
- backpack
- packages of #2 pencils
- packages of pens (red, blue and black)
- 2 packages of paper (wide ruled and college ruled both needed depending on grade level)

Please keep these children in mind as you take your next trip to the grocery store, Walmart, Target, etc. Any combination and amount of donations are greatly appreciated. We will be collecting supplies in the blue MOM's bin located outside the Family LIfe Center at church beginning next week through Friday, July 29th. If you cannot get the supplies to church, please contact Manda or myself and we can make different arrangements. Manda and I are truly excited to be serving you as Missions Coordinators this year. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your generous hearts!
Thanks,
Katie & Manda
