The Collection Connection for July is collecting school supplies for the students at Garfield Elementary School. Garfield is located in the Northeast, just a few blocks from Independence Boulevard Christian Church. The families of many of the students don't have resources to provide school supplies for their children. You can help by donating any of the following items or funds to purchase the following items: glue sticks, 8 oz bottles of washable glue, scissors, large pink erasers, No. 2 pencils, crayons-24 count, highlighters, rulers with inches and metrics, pocket folders, loose leaf wide-ruled paper, wide-rule spiral notebooks, composition notebooks (journals), boxes of colored pencils, red checking pens, blue or black ballpoint pens, 3-ring binders.
Take your donations to the parlor any Sunday this month. Send cash (or check) donations to the church office marked "Garfield School Supplies."
