Back to School Book Bags

It's amazing how powerful a new book bag filled with school supplies can be for a child. That's because in the dead-end environment where Metro Ministres kids live, it's easier to drop out than move up.

Our Back To School Outreach gives children a brand new, sturdy book bag filled with the following items:

* A three-ring binder

* Notebook or tablet paper

* Two composition notebooks

* Folders

* Crayons or markers

* Pens, pencils and erasers

* Book covers

* Rulers

How You Can Help

Donors make our Back To School outreach possible. Each gift of $25 provides one child with a brand new book bag filled with essential school supplies. If you are a Won-by-One sponsor, please include your sponsor number and the child's number.

* Sponsor a Book Bag and Supplies — $25 per book bag

If you would like to participate by purchasing a book bag and filling it with school supplies yourself, please include the listed items above.

* Fill your own Book Bag — Send by August 15

Please be sure to mail the package by August 15th with your return address on both the outside and inside of the box to:
