Presbyterian Women
Our Presbyterian Women will be collecting items for Church World Service School Kits in July and August. Our goal is 100 kits. Here are the items to fill a kit:
- One pair of blunt scissors removed from the package (rounded tip, only)
- Three 70-count bound notebooks or notebooks totaling 200-210 pages (no loose-leaf or filler paper)
- One 30-centimeter / 12” ruler
- One hand-held pencil sharpener removed from the package
- One large eraser (no pencil cap erasers)
- Six new, unsharpened pencils with erasers removed from the package
- One box of 24 crayons (only 24)
- One 12”x14” to 14”x17” finished size cotton or lightweight canvas bag (solid color or kid-friendly fabric) with cloth handles (no reusable shopping bags, backpacks, or bags with logos)
The value of each kit is $15 if you prefer to make a donation. Processing fee per kit is $2.00.
All items must be packed inside of the cloth bag. To purchase an affordable bag, visit: www.myshopangel.com. Or, download our school bag pattern and make your own!
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who helps support this program. People who have seen first-hand the distribution of school kits have heard over and over, “Thank you! This is just what we need!”
