It is almost back-to-school time for fatherless and foster kids in our care. In just a few weeks students here will return to new classes with new teachers. Along with all the excitement of a new school year comes the extra expense required to prepare the children and youth for a successful year.

In preparation for school our students need tangible back-to-school things like shoes, clothing and supplies that without your help we cannot supply. No one likes to start school in old clothes or a used backpack.

With growing young children and youth we know it is hard to purchase shoes and clothing without the child trying them on. Therefore, we ask you to please prayerfully consider sending a check, designated for back to school, or gift cards such as Wal-Mart, Visa, Dillards, Vanity, American Eagle, JCPenny's, Sears, TJ Maxx, Shoe Carnival, etc. Students will be able to find just the right items and sizes needed with the assistance of our loving staff.

You can bring a smile to the face of a child as he/she walks into school with new items that you helped them obtain. Let's help these students get a great start to the 2015 school year!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office. You may reach Richelle at 501-262-1660 or via email at rwingo@agfsa.org.
