Last year, the members of Bethel Assembly of God Church held a school supply and grocery giveaway, helping over 200 neighborhood school kids and their families.
The giveaway idea was started by Carol Huslig and Tammy Beagley, as a way to show the care of Jesus to our local community in a way that meets its needs. The response was overwhelming from church members and the community.
This year, the giveaway is scheduled from 9 a.m. - noon (or as supplies last) on August 13, at the Bethel Assembly of God Church, located at 2945 Orchard Ave. Hot dogs and drinks will be served.
Supplies will be given only to students. Students from all grades are eligible. Bags of supplies will be assembled according to our lists provided by their school. Each student will also receive a bag of groceries.
If you would like to donate money, school supplies, or groceries containing products such as macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, please call 261-8121 or 261-3075 for more information.
