LWR: School Kits

Compassionate Care Collection • August 14, 2025

By Debbie Haentfling & Bobbie Shadle

This summer (July and August) we are collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief. Many families in impoverished countries do not have the finances to send their children to school. These school kits will help in the education of these children. The list of supplies is very specific so please pick up a list in the ministry center or use the list below. Please note that only new items may be donated. Items can have NO: religious symbols, messages, names of groups, patriotic or military symbols/names (no USA flag, no camouflage). We have received a very generous donation of pencils and crayons, so these items are NOT needed at this time.


Drawstring backpacks are needed for the kits. Directions for sewing these may be found in the Ministry Center or use the link to the LWR instructions below. There is also a list of places to purchase the bags. If purchasing, blank bags (no words/symbols) are preferred.


Watch for those school sales and help children all over the world to have a great school year. 


God's Blessings to you for supporting this special summer Compassionate Care Collection.
