Update: Thank you to everyone who signed up last week! All of the kids now have sponsors. Just a friendly reminder: if you signed up, shoes and backpacks are due back at the church by August 12.
School may have just ended, but we're already going Pack to School! Nope, that wasn't a typo :) This summer we are providing school supplies to kids associated with the 1UP Society. 1UP helps provide practical support, opportunities for growth, and a sense of hope to one-parent families across Greater Victoria. Currently they are serving over 1,800 families in the Greater Victoria community and we are partnering with them to help kids in need with school supplies for September 2018.
If you're interested in joining us, pick up one of our designated backpacks on sunday. It includes a tanoting the grade of the recipient and the suggested school supply list provided by the school district. Simply complete the list and return the backpack with the supplies.
Do you miss Love in the Laces from last year? Not to worry, we have you covered. We are bringing it back for our WRC neighbours at Church Hill Estates. Pick up a card on Sunday with the name and age of a child and the colour and style preference for shoes.
If you sign up, please return backpacks and shoes to the church by August 12.
