You locals might have heard about this on WRBS. Once again, the radio station is partnering with PMJ to give homeless school children (there are thousands in Maryland) backpacks filled with school supplies. The campaign ends this Saturday, so hurry up and wait (on the Lord!) for how to give to this campaign. For more info, go to WRBS.com and where the search box is, type in PMJ. It'll pull up more details, including drop-off locations. The closest one I saw to our area is at LifeWay Christian Store in White Marsh.
Here's the list of needed supplies:
Backpacks
Lunch boxes
Pencils
Pens
Crayons
Colored pencils
Spiral notebooks
Lined paper
Folders
Calculators
Rulers
Glue
Erasers
New clothing for kids ages 5-17
My guess is that more supplies than backpacks will be donated, so if you are wondering what is most needed, this is my best GUESS, given that "little stuff" is cheap and backpacks aren't. Consider that you probably won't pick the cheapest one for your child; you'll pick something he likes. (Even homeschool kids like to get backpacks for co-op and special classes.) Consider picking up an identical one for a homeless child.
If you would like to do this but can't get to a drop-off location, let me know. Maybe one of us will be going to LifeWay this Saturday.
