Good Morning!

It feels like Fall outside and I am finally sitting down here at my computer to write on this blog. :) I apologize for not updating more frequently and it is a goal of mine to update you all more this year on all the good things L2F and J10 have been doing!

We have been collecting school supplies and backpacks for local schools. We have delivered 8 backpacks filled with all the supplies needed to children that were waiting for the bags. They were so excited to get the bags. One family said to tell you all "thank you all so much for the work you do and making these bags for their children!" They really appreciated them. We also took clothing to 5 kids in local schools with the backpacks. With it being the first week of school the children with needs are starting to show up and we will be hearing more in the next few weeks.

We are starting our weekend backpack program for children without food again starting this Friday. We already have some children waiting. We have worked hard over the summer gathering a supply of food and have bags prepacked and ready to go with nutritious food to give out on Fridays. We are getting together today to work on the food and get it all organized! :) We fed 98 children in the last 6 weeks of school and the program worked well so we are ready to go to help more!

Thank you all for watching the needs and jumping in when you can. YOU are making a difference in your community for so many children and families in need! Thank you!

Have a great day!
Jill
