Back to School Book Bag and Supply Project


Our RSVP Members will be helping to organize and sort donations received by NRCA for book bags and supplies on Wednesday August 26 in the NRCA Giles Area Office.

How can you take away some of the dread, fear and possible humiliation that a child may feel if they were to go to school without a book bag or school supplies? Donate a few note books, pencils, or rulers. I was in Dollar General last week and they have book bags for $7.00. It is estimated that a book bag with basic supplies cost around $25.00. If your budget will not allow you to donate items then help spread the word about the drive; talk with your family, friends, pastor or Sunday School, co-workers or neighbors.

NRCA has a list of children who will not have what they need to start school if we can't help.
