Gemma Backpack Project

Do you remember starting a new school year? Imagine the worry of walking into a classroom without the basic supplies you needed for the year. The Annual Backpack Project helps assure that children throughout the Philadelphia area have the resources they need to start a new year. Gemma Services provides backpacks filled with supplies to students served through their foster and family programs.

Help us meet this incredible need by either donating a completed backpack or purchasing individual supplies. All backpacks must be received by August 1 to ensure timely delivery.

• 1 backpack

• 3 composition books

• 4 2-pocket folders

• 1 box of pencils

• 1 large eraser

• 1 box of crayons

• 1 box of colored pencils or markers

• 2 glue sticks (no paste)

If you wish to purchase supplies for students to make into backpacks, you may purchase items through Amazon or contact Pastor Rachel for an up-to-date needs list: https://amzn.to/3IYYOcq
