Did you know there are many parents, single parents, and grandparents raising kids who can't afford to buy school supplies? We are partnering with Mission Agape to help students in Opportunity Tribe and our community by collecting school supplies and monetary donations to ensure these students have the tools they need for a great school year.
You can drop off the following supplies at the church office or the welcome center on Sundays:
Composition Notebooks (wide-ruled)
Wide Ruled Notebook Paper
Backpacks - boys & girl, teen guys & teen
Scissors (blunt & sharp edge)
Crayons (24 count)
Markers, Highlighters & Dry Erase Markers
1 Subject Spiral Notebooks (wide-ruled)
#2 Pencils & Colored Pencils
3 x 5 Index Cards - lined
3-hole pencil pouch or plastic pencil box
1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch Binders
Pens - blue, black, and red
Plastic/Poly Pocket Folders with Brads
Pencil sharpeners
Earbuds
Pink Erasers
Watercolors
Glue & Glue sticks
Rulers
(bolded items are the greatest need)
Donations can be made to help us buy needed supplies as well. To fully outfit a student with all the supplies they need costs about $75. Checks can be made out to GCR and put school supplies in the memo line or you can give online and choose the “school supply drive” fund.
