Provide a child with needed school supplies
Help us fill backpacks with new items and equip students in need to be successful this school year. Every year schools provide a list of required supplies specific to a grade level/classroom and COMMUNITY works to meet these needs through our Annual School Supplies Drive. This year is no different!
Let’s all #BETHECHURCH and help a family provide supplies for their child.
