| STARS Project 2012-2013
Jamieson Community Center is beginning the STARS project for the 2012-2013 school year. STARS stands for Supplies To Arrive Ready for School. Many churches have participated in the past years by collecting donated school supplies and we are grateful for the generosity of past years. Supplies have then been distributed to the schools in Warren County. This program has been very successful in providing school supplies to children who come to school without the necessary supplies throughout the year.
You can either bring supplies to the church and place them in the box outside of the office, or you can drop them off at Jamieson Center, 325 East. 9th Ave. Monetary donations toward the program are also welcome. Checks should be made out to Jamieson Center STARS. If you have any questions, call Dori Anderson at Jamieson Center at 734-4251.
