FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES ... generous donors.


The Williams Bay Health Care Center residents and their families donated school supplies so that those who can't afford them would be able to have them. They asked Christ Church if we could hand them out to others. So I went over and picked them up on Tuesday afternoon, after sorting them and having a Church member take a big box of the supplies out to Twin Oaks Shelter for the Homeless, we also had them in our downtown Church site for people to get for FREE. Some others from our Church also donated some funds and I went and got $100 in more school supplies to add to them.




Thank you to Judy Lamb, program director, and the residents for their donations, as well as the donors at Christ Church. If you could only see the gratitude and thankfulness of the ones who received the supplies!

There were some sad stories of the trials that some are going thru, and we are praying for them, for jobs and work to be available for them, and for their families too.

To see the delight in the eyes of the children, who came with their moms to get the supplies, over just a colored eraser top, that they have never had before and "always wanted", it just touches your heart that something so simple gives such joy to the kids.. and the parents joy at being able to get the needed supplies is evident in their eyes too.

THANK YOU TO ALL FOR HELPING OTHERS IN SUCH A WONDERFUL WAY!!
