We would like to thank you for your support of our Bags of Hope project. Because of you we have been able to touch the lives of teens impacted by April's tornados. You have been a huge source of hope and encouragement in the lives of teens that have experienced great devastation. During a time of hopelessness you have helped provide hope, answers and love; and for that we are truly grateful.
We wanted to provide you with an update and show you the great impact you have made:
- Locally, we have received nearly 200 filled Bags of Hope
- First Priority in Hattiesburg, MS, filled 250 Bags of Hope for Alabama teens
- First Priority delivered over 100 Bags of Hope to teens at Daniel Payne Middle School
- First Priority has distributed bags in Pleasant Grove, Concord, Forestdale, Bibb County and Shoal Creek Valley
- In the next two weeks First Priority students across the country will be bringing more bags to Alabama to distribute to teens in Walker County and Tuscaloosa
