BLESS The KIDS" is a God-idea that blossomed into a plan to serve our city. We started with four of us sitting at a dining
room table discussing what we could do to help children and families. In the beginning we distributed toothbrushes at park
outreaches & we took school supplies to mothers & their children at the local Gospel Mission.
In July 2004, we realized that many children we gave supplies to had no backpack and they need more supplies than we
were giving them. So, we took a new step forward and contacted our local schools. They have allowed us to "adopt" grade
school children from low income and poverty families to provide them with a backpack, school supplies, activity books, small
toys and snacks.
Is there really a need for this? Yes, there is! When we talked with school
principles, we found out there is a huge need and what we are doing is
very helpful to them.
Many children come to school without breakfast, lunch or lunch
money. Those same children have no school supplies or backpack. The school feeds
them & provides supplies they can use while on campus. But when the children leave school with their homework it's not
completed properly the next day because they have no crayons, scissors, ruled paper or even a sharp pencil at home.
These children have nothing!
Last year we made a difference in the lives of 20 children. This year we want to double, triple or more the number of
children we are able to bless. With your help we can make a really productive difference in the lives of the children.
When we gave away the first backpacks stuffed with school supplies & some treats, one first grade child said, "This is the
best day of my life!" Another was overwhelmed because he got a ream of ruled paper for his very own. Last time we went to
visit a school, one little boy named Jeremiah said "Is this mine? To Keep?!" When we said yes, he could hardly believe it.
Other children spread out all of the things they received and admired each item, with looks of amazement and great joy.
Teachers report back to us that the children have more confidence and do better in school because the feel special and
have the tools they need to succeed.
For $15 - $20 per child we get a nicely made, sturdy backpack & stuff it with lots of great supplies, an activity book, a toy,
juice & treats. Scroll down for a list of what we include in the pack.
