Special thank you to everyone who contributed in 2018!

Iroquois Avenue Christ Lutheran Church where the backpacks will be given away. The members of the congregation have donated many supplies and many volunteer hours to help with this project. They also are very generous with their support and running of a food pantry and clothes closet. Thank you!

St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran in Grosse Pointe Farms who collects items from members for the project.
Thank you to Sister Pie for being a drop off location for backpack and school supplies. Their location helps bring in backpack and school supplies for the giveaway.
To everyone who has made a personal donation or has supported us in any way! We have had many donations from our neighbors in Indian Village and West Village as well as donations from metro Detroit and around the state. Thank you for continuously supporting this event!
And to all of the wonderful volunteers who have volunteered to help counting and sorting all of the donations and purchases, helped arrange all of supplies, and help us provide each student with the school supplies that they wanted and needed. Without all of our amazing volunteers we would not be able to provide such a fun and positive experience to inspire the kids to be successful in school.
