Just a few short days and summer will officially be here for all in the Francis Howell School district. In the last few months, I've had the opportunity to talk to several people who have children or teach in other school districts recently, as well as work at the school as a Girls on the Run coach and each time I talk to someone or walk through the doors, I become more grateful that God placed us in a neighborhood that allows our kids to attend John Weldon. We have the most incredible staff. We really do!
This summer God has given us the privilege to provide for seven children. What we did last summer and what I feel called to do this summer is to cover these kids for four days instead of just two. Since our program is anonymous, I have no idea if these kids will attend summer school or not but if their parents are used to them eating school lunch and breakfast five days a week, having them need to eat at home SEVEN can be a taxing financial burden to an already struggling family. I'd love to be able help lift that burden for them!
To cover the first two weeks, we will need:
5 peanut butter
7 jelly
28 easy mac envelopes
12 green beans
13 corn
28 applesauce
8 pudding cups
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14
