Backpack Drive
With costs going up so much, there is a HUGE need for backpacks and school supplies for Olathe children. At the Center of Grace, school supplies are provided for the children who attend the Boys and Girls Club program and to children who are on the free or reduced lunch program.
The first day of school is exciting – especially with a new backpack full of supplies. Each backpack with supplies costs approximately $25. Visit the backpack table in the Narthex for supply lists by grade level, or give a monetary donation in the offering plate, the office or on line at https://pushpay.com/g/graceumcolathe Backpacks or supplies may be left at the Narthex table or in the office. Thank you for helping Olathe children and youth head into another successful school year!
Grace Youth Have a Great Summer of Mission and Ministry Planned!
