The line began forming 30 minutes ahead of distribution
As we contacted people to tell them the location and dates they could pick up their supplies many told us that they would probably come on Friday, and they did. We distributed backpacks to over 93 children on Friday alone which was a great start! Having a lineup of people outside caused many passers-by to stop and ask what was happening. After all, no one wants to miss out on a good deal. When told what we do, many asked us how they could got their children on the list. We had to explain that this year’s list was final but we would take their information. As it turned out, we ended up with 14 new names to consider for next year.

A local family with 5 children was very happy to have their new supplies

Deciding which backup to take can be a difficult decision
So Sad that we missed the distribution this year. Next year we will be down for sure from mid July to mid August. It is such a blessing to be able to share a little of what God has blessed us with these hard working families. Glad the other needy families found us. The ministry grows each year. See you soon.
