Fill a Backpack, Fulfill a Dream
Sundays, July 24 and 31
 Sacred Heart Community Service wants to ensure that children of struggling families don't miss out on a quality education. The agency is hoping to give 3,300 K-12 children a new backpack filled with age-appropriate school supplies, and LAUMC is collecting supplies to help out! This Sunday or next Sunday, bring donations to the red barrels in the church entry. The most-needed items are new backpacks (not red or blue), scientific calculators, USB flash drives, safety scissors, and $20 shoe store gift cards. For a list of all requested supplies and more information, visit the Sacred Heart website.
