Backpack Blessings 2019 Photos and Thank you card

Once again, we collected new backpacks and school supplies for children whose families were unable to purchase these items themselves. On Sunday, August 18 we filled over 28 backpacks with binders, notebooks, folders, crayons, markers, pencils, earphones, calculators, flash drives, rulers, glue sticks, pencil boxes, pencils, erasers, and much more! The backpacks were then delivered to the Village at Cataumet. Additionally, we collected supplies (markers, glue, colored paper, lysol wipes, playdough, tape, duct tape and dry erase markers) for Theophany School, an Orthodox school in Needham, MA. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped with the packing and delivering!!!
