Although many of us are in vacation mode, our Service Sewing team is busy preparing Church World Service back to school packs for disadvantaged children, now called “Kids Kits”. They are sewing the cloth bags and need items to fill them with!

• One box of 12 colored pencils
• One 2 pocket folder
• One glue stick
• One pair of blunt scissors removed from the package (rounded tip, only)
• One 70-page count spiral bound notebook (no loose-leaf or filler paper)
• One 30-centimeter / 12” ruler
• One hand-held pencil sharpener removed from the package
• One large eraser (no pencil cap erasers)
• Six new, unsharpened pencils with erasers (removed from packing and use a rubber band to hold the pencils together).
• One box of 24 crayons (only 24)

Back to school sales have begun! If you have any questions about the items requested, there is a FAQ section on the CWS website. Please check out the page or speak to Laurie Brookes.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Your donation of school supplies can help make that happen!
