Back To School Extravaganza

SUPPLY SORTING JULY 10-17

Each year we partner with Washington Township schools as they kick off a new academic year. We work closely with their teachers and administrators to find the BEST way we can support the school district. This year’s strategy includes: Sorting and packing school supplies for EVERY student in EVERY school in the district. Volunteers will do the sorting at the MSDWT warehouse (not at the church) and supplies will be delivered by school personnel. More information and to donate visit stlukesumc.com/backtoschool.
