It is crazy to think that we have finished our 5th summer of Kids Club! We just finished our 4th year of backpack distribution. We have been able to bless so many kids and families over the years.
2011: 56 backpacks distributed
2012: 58 backpacks distributed
2013: 67 backpacks distributed
2014: 82 backpacks distributed
This number doesn't include the number of bags also distributed to the participants in the teens programs over the years. We also have been able to take any bags that are not needed by our community and give them to the schools in our neighborhood to distribute to students who do not have the needed supplies for schools! It is the gift that keeps on giving, it blesses the kids and families because they do not have to buy as many school supplies, and it blesses the kids and teachers as the students are prepared to learn on the first day of school!
A big thank you to Christ Church Anglican for being an ongoing partner in our backpack distribution. This year they went above and beyond to make sure that all 18 of our LIT students had different bags, which is a huge help in making sure kids don't go home with the wrong backpack at the end of a day of LIT.
