The Ruth Gathering of the Women of Bethel will be collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief School Kits in July, August and September. School kits contain essential supplies to help children continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. This learning leads to a better life for them, their families and their communities. School bags will be provided for filling with the following specific items:
- FOUR 70-80 sheet SPIRAL Notebooks (280-300 sheets total of wide- or college-ruled paper approximately 8" X 10-1/2"; NO LOOSE-LEAF PAPER
- ONE 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
- ONE pencil sharpener
- ONE pair blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
- FIVE unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
- FIVE black or blue ballpoint pens (No Gel Ink); secure together with a rubber band
- ONE box of 16 or 24 crayons
- ONE 2-1/2" eraser
The school bags with an attached list of items needed will be available at the Downtown campus beginning July 21st and the Highland campus beginning July 28th. Please take a bag, fill it with the needed supplies and return it to the bin labeled "LWR SCHOOL KITS" by September 30th. If you can't fill a bag, you are welcome to donate any of the above listed items by placing them in the "LWR SCHOOL KITS" bin. We hope you will consider helping us fulfill this much needed mission project.
