Children & Youth Faith Development Families & Teachers

IHN Back to School Backpacks Project

We are collecting items needed to send children in families served by IHN back to school well supplied! Please bring all items to the church by SUNDAY, AUGUST 14 so that we have time to figure out any additional needs before children pack the bags on 8/21. Leave items anytime clearly labeled on the church porch where they will be collected and stored for use on the day of.

ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE NEW! They do not have to be fancy brands but think about what you'd like to send your child or grandchild to school with.

(Note: yes, we know, backpacks of any color are for any gender kid! The gender designations reflect what IHN knows about what the kids they serve like.)
