Cindy Darnell tells us:
Sad but true fact....Finding ways to make a difference in people's lives is getting easier and easier as times get tougher. Here's one for you. A few years back a friend and I were brainstorming ways that we could make a difference with a hands-on project when we came up with an idea of providing school backpacks for poor children in our community. We asked friends and family for donations. I buy the backpacks for $5.25 ea. from a wholesaler and we fill them with basic school supplies, hand soap, toothbrushes,granola bars and other basic supplies, depending on how much money we collect.Contact Information:
The first year we did 25 backpacks, the second we did 50 the third 60, last year we did 60 again. This year there is a greater need then ever. We are adding the Maslow project and they need 500 bags for homeless youth in Jackson County. I doubt if we will get enough money to get those numbers but who knows. Miracles... if you expect them, they will come.
We are not an official non-profit agency. If you want a tax deduction for your contribution you can donate directly to the Maslow Project. Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help.
