THIS SUMMER—Friendship Place Backpack Drive!

St. Paul’s is helping Friendship Place again in collecting backpacks and other school supplies for Neighbors First Families this summer and we need your help! We are looking to fill and donate 40 bags for 9th-12th DC school students in need. Due to recent economic changes, the time to buy is now! We would love to get ahead of the curve before prices rise. We already have the backpacks but we are in need of lots of supplies! We need all the help we can get to reach our goal! Please direct all questions to James Heffley (jheffley@verizon.net) for drop offs and donation needs as we move forward.
