For those who are interested in participating and planning on purchasing a backpack and supplies I wanted to inform you of a way to save a little money. I ran across a ministry that provides backpacks, good quality, for outreaches @ $4.75/backpack + shipping…they are of the same quality as Jansport. If you would like you can commit to purchasing the school supplies and donate $6 for the backpack.
The cheapest backpacks I have seen at Wal Mart are $9.00 + tax and no where near the quality of the backpack.
If you are planning on using these backpacks I will need the donation by Friday July 23, 2010.
I appreciate everyone’s help with this.
We are thinking of organizing a backpack outreach for our community here in MD. Could you please email me contact of ministry where you are purchasing your backpack's from? Our email is info@gracelifecenter.com. Thanks.
