During the months of August & September, our church community is collecting school supplies to put together kits which will go to children around the world who don't have access to these items.
They will be distributed by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and are given primarily to refugee and displaced children, helping students and teachers add some normalcy to disrupted lives.

They are also given to children living in areas that experienced natural disasters. MCC has sent school kits to children in places such as Bosnia, Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Liberia, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine and to poorly funded schools in Canada and the United States.

In 2008 MCC shipped over 120,000 school kits. For more information, go to School supplies
