We've finalized our school-supply project plans. This year we will offer to purchase school supplies to any student in the USD 507 school district who needs them, but rather than offering a form to every family at enrollment, we'll print up business cards that Nancy and Shelley will offer at enrollment to families in need during the enrollment process. These families can then contact us directly.
We have also discussed using drawstring backpacks to deliver the school supplies in. These could be purchased via a website like www.4allpromos.com, but first we will inquire to see if Mary Oliver and her UMW sewers might be able to make these for us.
To finance this program, we will post flyers around town (and at local churches) with bookmark reminders asking community members to donate $10 (or more) to our group in support of our "Erase Poverty" school supply campaign. These flyers/bookmarks have already been created and prepared for posting around town. We'll post them as August draws nearer.
