To date we now have approxiately 290 children who are receiving backpacks! Our dream in the beginning was filling 144 but because of the outpouring of interest and love for this vision we now have 324 backpacks available. That means we will even have a few extras for kids that just walk up that day with a need. So as of this date we do not need anymore school supplies. That is a praise!!!!!
If you are planning to share in the celebration that day we just ask you bring a bag of candy to give to the kids that day. Sort of trick or treat style to put in each backpack. Also, a donation that would be a huge help would be sticker name tags. We would love for everyone to wear one that day so 500 or more would be fabulous!!!! A luxury item that Bridge of Hope would greatly appreciate would be the use of a “johnny on the spot” for the day. That would eliminate traffic going in and out of the building and help keep our water bill down. If any of these items are possible for you to donate please feel free to call us and give us a head’s up and let us know if you can make it on the day of the event!!. Contact persons would be Lindsay Baker @ 314-650-4837 or Lori Farley 314-921-3680.
Hope to see you on August 9th! God bless!
