 Thankful Hearts Food Pantry will be planning a back to school giveaway on July 29th. However, they are currently in need of both donations and volunteers to help make their operations move quickly and smoothly. Supplies needed for the giveaway include clothes, backpacks, hygiene products, food, and anything else school-related. Usually we do our back to school giveaway the last weekend of July, which I was taught to Shelly at the YMCA, and we're hoping and planning to use the YMCA. And it's an all year event we have to collect and gather for the whole year. We are planning on like giving school clothes, school shoes, underwear, all school supplies and bags of food for the kids. We are a desperate need of volunteers, church volunteers, youth groups, any organization that has some volunteers that can come and help us, we deeply appreciate it. Thankful Hearts has a real impact on the community due to all the hard work they put in year-round. With a little help from donors and volunteers, they can ensure kids in need will be ready for school. I do see kids all the time, we have teachers that have contacted us and said, hey, this child here came and that they've done amazing, they're just like stepping on cloud nine, they've got new clothes, new shoes, they've got all the school supplies they need, so they go into school feeling like they're as good as everybody else. And when you go to school and you don't have new clothes or new shoes and people roll it down on you because you don't have hygiene products, and those are the kids who kind of fall by the wayside because they don't feel as superior as the other kids do. Anything that you've got that you can donate, paper, pencils, crayons, if you can buy at the dollar tree, dollar store, notebooks, anything about pack of socks, we have underwear for boys, we're still in need for underwear for girls, but anything that you could do would be greatly appreciated.
