Items are needed by August 1 but will be appreciated whenever received.

Yikes!  School will be starting in less than a month!  Parents everywhere are getting out the supply lists and braving a trip to buy everything.  For some folks, this is a real hurtle--- the needed supplies add up to significant money, and some families need personal supplies for their children.  Each year, we try to help the families at Westminster Village by donating supplies.  The Village has provided us with the following list.  You can help by purchasing some of these items and bringing them to the church by the end of July.  A box will be set up in the education building lobby for your donations.
