Sponsor-A-Student Backpack Program 2023

Once again, our local social services agency, Faith in Action, is appealing to the generosity of our congregation to help make their annual Sponsor-A-Student Backpack program a success. Each year over 100 Chelsea/ Dexter students are helped with school supplies and backpacks. St. Paul is one of many participating groups who help these local children, and this year we will be providing necessary supplies for 3 students.

The posters are located on a table in the narthex. Please choose the items you would like to contribute, take the post-it notes, and sign your name. When your shopping is complete return the items to the appropriate box. If you choose to donate the $40 check, please make it out to Faith-in Action and drop it off in the church office. All items must be brought in by Sunday August 13, so we can get them packed up and delivered to FIA. Thank you for your support of this wonderful community program!

Last day to drop off all items is August 13, 2023. 

Our coordinator for backpack program is Kay LeFurge and Joyce Wasilewski.
