Project 1 is Here!

Heading back to school is an exciting event for most children.  Getting to see friends that have been missed all summer, loved activities and sports, and even all those brand new school supplies can be so much fun and something to look forward to as a child.

As a parent, you sigh when you think about what your children need to start the school year. There are backpacks, notebooks, pencils and lots more to buy. But we do it, because we know those are the tools that children need to learn.

What if your budget didn’t have room for your bills, let alone school supplies?  What if your child had to go to school without them, or had to attempt to do her homework without them? How would that affect his ability to learn, to study, to succeed?

There are far too many children in our area in this exact position.

We can do something about it.

Project 1 for Soul Purpose is to support the Back to School Program of Community Shelter Services.  They are in need of school supplies to help the 100s of area children start the school year in the best way possible.

Purchase some extra items from the list the below when you shop for your own children. Get them to us (more info on how to do that is coming). We will deliver every item to Community Shelter Services, who will get them into the grateful hands of the children who need them most.

Then feel awesome, because your act of kindness will change the outlook of a child’s school year.

SHOPPING LIST:

Backpacks, pencils, notebooks, folders, 3 ring binders, crayons, markers, highlighters, scissors, glue bottles, glue sticks, loose leaf paper, erasers, pencil cases, and calculators.
