July & August Compassionate Care Collection: Lutheran World Relief School Kits
We need your help to make LWR School Kits!
Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. Ensuring that girls attend school, especially in places where their access is deprioritized, has even stronger results. Lutheran World Relief School Kits contain essential supplies to help children — and in some cases, adults — continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families and their communities.
Click HERE to learn how to make a kit. Or we'll have printed instructions in the Ministry Center soon.
If you'd like to bring in items that go into the kits, you can use the baskets for these donations in the narthex and Ministry Center. Those items are:
- 70-sheet notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper, approximately 8" x 10 1/2"; no loose leaf paper
- 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
- pencil sharpener
- pair of blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well
- black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink)
- 2 1/2" eraser
- drawstring backback-style cloth bag, appx. 14"x17" with shoulder straps (no standard backpacks)
