MISSION OF THE MONTH: July/August 2010
ADOPT-A-BACKPACK For Kids in Need of School Supplies For children, there
are not many days as exciting as the first day of school. Unfortunately,
for kids who do not have school supplies, it can be a very embarrassing
day. For the past 8 years the CHUM Gabriel Project has given school
supplies to children in need. This year the Duluth School District will
host a “Back to School Fair” on Tuesday, August 24, and distribute the
backpacks at that event. We plan to deliver our donated items to CHUM in
time for this district wide distribution of back. So please have
these items to church by August 20! HOW CAN YOU HELP? You can donate a
backpack plus the supplies to fill it OR donate money so the supplies
can be purchased. Backpacks are distributed to two age groups. GRADE K-5 BACKPACK Give a $15.00 donation or donate a backpack filled with: 3 Wide Ruled Notebooks 6 Pencils, 3 Pocket Folders 1 Box of Crayons GRADE 6-12 BACKPACK Give a $18.00 donation or donate a backpack filled with: 6 Pencils, 3 Pens, College Ruled Loose Leaf Paper 3-Ring Binder, 3 Pocket Folders 3 College Ruled
Notebooks To ensure
fairness to all students, each backpack is packed identically based on
this list. It is most helpful to us if you don’t include additional
items in your donation. If you are unable to donate a full backpack, the
items we are most in need of each year are backpacks, scissors, 3-ring
binders and pocket folders. Checks can be made out directly to Churches United in Ministry or to Glen Avon Presbyterian Church, with note “CHUM Backpack” in the memo line.
SECOND MISSION FOR JULY/AUGUST
The Street
Outreach teams can use raincoats or ponchos, sleeping bags, pillows and
umbrellas. These teams often have to hand out garbage bags to the
homeless in an effort to keep them dry and warm. They were very excited
at the possibility of having ponchos to hand out.
